LONDON, UK - Corporate Responsibility and the Internet are two relatively new phenomenon’s for the 21st Century and have become two essential business topics and tools for successful business operations in today’s competitive global environment. Communication and Reputation are two key words that adversely affect businesses and with increasing media exposure on all issues of Corporate Responsibility, companies are being forced to meet the broad array of stakeholder requirements and deliver timely, accurate, informative and verifiable reports and interactive communication options for their stakeholders.

Social and Environmental Reporting is no longer a matter of simply uploading a PDF file. It is a matter of trust and empowerment and stakeholders are demanding more information, more verification and more interactive involvement. Companies who have taken on board these requirements have benefited substantially in a variety of areas including: Reputation, Employee understanding and commitment, Investor Trust, saving on money in regards to promotion and the added benefit of less environmental risk factors.

The upcoming knowledge workshop on the 22-23 October, 2003 in London, UK, lead by online expert Mark Bunting, former director, Infonic, will provide participants with a complete learning experience and cover the practical aspects of how to use the power of the internet to effectively communicate with your stakeholders and report your CSR Initiatives.

The workshop will also provide practical examples of the challenges involved in online communication and how to ensure you avoid the pitfalls but continue to empower your stakeholders with relevant, accurate, timely information to ensure you are not left at the starting line.

The 2 half day knowledge workshop will cover:-
- Planning an effective long-term online reporting and communication strategy
- Verification and Auditing
- Personalisation
- Promoting your online report to target audiences
- Dynamic content and the interactive toolkit
- Writing for the Internet

"The Workshop is an important step forward for progressive businesses that are looking beyond 2003 and want to save money and time in the long term by adopting an interactive communication approach" said Mark Bunting, Director, Infonic.

The workshop is limited to 35 people and will guarantee participants walk away with more then just knowledge but supporting materials for future reference and best practice guidelines. Each participant will be asked to complete an in-depth practical exercise to hone skills and apply ideas and information.
