Conference

In the fast-moving worlds of business and media, new concepts are quick to take hold of the collective imagination. Since the advent of the 21st century, no one idea has become as relevant to a company’s livelihood as Corporate Social Responsibility. Business is entering a new era in which the stakeholder’s well-being is more important than ever for mutual growth and success. Combined with the drastic environmental changes which are affecting our planet, this has created a new landscape in which corporations must adapt to survive. As such, the ever-growing relevance of CSR has created new questions for businesses to address:

• What does CSR actually mean?
• What exactly does a corporation need to do in order to develop a well-rounded CSR policy?
• How do businesses manage to incorporate their stakeholders’ input into the transition, and how do they effectively communicate their policies to those stakeholders?

All these questions and more will be examined in the School of Business, Media & Politics’ upcoming conference on Corporate Social Responsibility, to be held in Brussels on the 12th and 13th June 2008. The distinguished line-up of speakers will include, among others, Vladimír Špidla, the European Commissioner for Employment, Social Affairs and Equal Opportunities, as well as Dr. Björn Bloching of Roland Berger Strategy Consultants and Étienne Davignon, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Brussels Airlines.

The SBMP invites you to share with us the opportunity to engage in a dialogue with these experts as well as hundreds of your peers on the most important issues in contemporary CSR. We hope to see you there for cutting-edge discussion on current developments and future trends in the field of CSR.
