The slate of speakers will include business leaders and area experts including:
Consistently drawing the attendance of more than 1,000 leaders from business, civil society and the public sector, and representation from more than 35 countries, the BSR Annual Conference is one of the largest and most valuable networking and learning forums for CSR experts and those new to the field. Register before October 9th and receive discounted rates.
Recent events demonstrate that businesses that approach CSR integration without rigor, discipline, strategy and wisdom can find themselves at a disadvantage. Companies that raise false expectations, discount the complexities of operating in the global economy, neglect to ensure that resources are wisely deployed, or fail to act in a consistent manner may find themselves paying a price that is both great and disruptive to their business.
Companies that successfully integrate CSR across all areas of their business stand to gain financial and social benefits through the identification of new business opportunities, the strengthening of their brands and corporate reputation, the attraction and retention of top employees, and recognition as a trusted partner. Successful CSR integration also creates a climate that can enhance public acceptance and support.
