London, UK - Next week AIESEC will be bringing together some of the brightest young undergraduates in the country in an event that will involve some of the leading speakers in Corporate Social Responsibility to ensure the next generation of business leaders know the wider implications of business.

The Youth Forum on Ethical Leadership brings together speakers from government, NGO, SME and blue-chip companies to provide in-depth training to the latest issues facing business. Attended by leading undergraduates from around the world, the Youth Forum will examine topics such as socially responsible investment, ethical supply chain management, and the environmental impacts of exporting.

With Sir David King, Chief Scientific Advisor to the Government, opening the conference, those attending are looking forward to finding out from CSR specialists such as David Grayson of BITC, and blue-chip companies that have developed best-case practice, such as o2, what they can be able to do as tomorrow's business leaders that business remains has impact on society.

For AIESEC, the world's largest international student development organisation, the event coincides with the launch of it's CSR Initiative to ensure alumni of the organisation remain true to the values of the organisation. With alumni including Gavin Darby, UK CEO of Vodafone, and Uwe Doerken, DEO of DHL, the university-based charity has a 50 year track record of producing top business people.

National Vice President and event organiser Lynsey Abernethy says "With so many of our members going in to senior management after AIESEC, it's imperative that that we utilise the formative time at university age to develop positive values that will be with them for the rest of their lives."

The conference takes place from the 22nd to the 24th June in central London.
