London, UK - Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) can not be ignored for corporations to be successful and reputable in business today and is specifically pertinent for professionals in the much aligned healthcare and pharmaceutical industry.

CSR Data Networks is leading the way in interactive events on Corporate Social Responsibility. Rather than traditional show-and-tell formats comprising hundreds of attendees and very little conversation, we provide an interactive, industry-specific forum which addresses the questions and viewpoints of the cross section of attendees. The interactive event is scheduled to take place in Washington D.C, USA on the 17-19 November 2003. Theory is one thing, results are another, and the aim of this event is to empower attendees with the information and techniques they need for leadership and success in Corporate Social Responsibility. By sharing and comparing strategies with peers, attendees will gain new perspectives, uncover creative solutions and learn from the best practice of leaders in the field of corporate citizenship.

CSR Data Networks are committed to include a balanced cross-section of practitioners from pharmaceutical and healthcare companies, suppliers, government and NGOs so that together, a realistic and multi-stakeholder conversation can take place. Each session will be highly structured so that the various issues can be discussed with a focus on implementation.

The curriculum will comprise 8 sessions, each comprising expert speakers providing case studies, followed by an hour of mediated smaller group discussions which encourage the formulation of specific action plans.

Topics to be discussed include:
· Sustainable healthcare in a growing and aging population
· Opportunities and challenges for engaging Socially Responsible Investors
· Using partnerships and collaboration to enhance CSR practices
· CSR measurement, reporting and accountability
· Developing high performance teams within your organisation
· Understanding your stakeholders expectations
· Supply chain management
· Leadership in environmental health and safety
· Managing your reputation and limiting risks to your brand identity

“The new learning doesn’t come from the traditional sources of knowledge. It comes from conversations among smart people in shared places.”
Thornton May, Corporate Futurist and Chief Awareness Office, Guardent
