Reasons
you should attend this important conference
You’re invited to attend the largest and most important
Corporate Responsibility event ever staged in Europe. 11th –
12th May 2004.
Some of Europe’s smartest companies are now quietly using
Corporate Responsibility to profitably achieve their broader commercial
objectives.
Who are they? How are they doing it? What kind of results are they
achieving? And what can you learn from their experiences to date?
This is just one of the hot button issues that will be examined
when hundreds of leading figures from Europe’s CR community
converge on London in May for what is shaping up to be a landmark
event – two dynamic, fact-filled days that will enable you
to build a bullet-proof business case for Corporate Responsibility.
And if you’re yawning, “Here comes another event filled
with the same old Talking Heads droning their way through the same
old PowerPoint presentations,” hold it right there. This event
is different.
An agenda developed after extensive research with
Corporate Managers, NGOs, investors and governments.
We’ve spent months finding out what you want to talk –
and learn – about, and you’ll see the result is a Conference
Agenda that tackles the BIG issues in corporate responsibility.
For example:
· Which new European and international laws are poised to
transform soft risk into hard risk?
· Litigation risk: are you sure you’re not sitting
on a ticking time bomb?
· Future risks – do you know what people are going
to worry about next?
· How do you sell the concept of CR up the command chain
and to big investors – and how do you maximise the ROI?
Day One of the Conference will focus on ‘Big
Picture’ critical issues like these and will help you zone
in on specific, defined objectives for your CR initiatives.
The
emphasis is on two-way traffic, with plenty of time for you to talk
– every Panel Session has at least 30 minutes built-in Q&A
time. So please come armed with questions.. and rest assured the
answers and opinions will come from leading CR practitioners from
around the world. But that’s just the start.
Which discussion groups are most valuable for you to join?
Day Two is dedicated to a ‘pick and mix’
selection of 15 discussion groups that investigate – in depth
– specific aspects of CR policy that are vital business case
building blocks, including:
NGO engagement * Materiality and non-financial reporting * Human
Rights and the UN Norms * Ratings, rankings and research agencies
* Brand reputation and trust * Limits to responsibilities * Evaluating
the impact of FDI * Effective Consumer Communications * Tackling
bribery, corruption and whistle blowing * Employee communications
* Product responsibility in the supply chain * Wading through the
codes and standards
Each group is led by an expert facilitator with up-to-the-moment
real life experience. And as you can see such is the importance
of this Conference that we have attracted a whole string of senior
CR players from world famous companies to speak and advise you.
With hours of networking time for you to meet peers, plus scope
for off-the-record discussions so you can share knowledge in a secure
environment, this is the event helps you to transform policy into
actions that satisfy – and surpass – the expectations
of your investors, stakeholders and staff.
As you can imagine, the event is already filling up and places are
limited – especially for the discussion groups where numbers
are restricted to ensure participants can gain maximum value. Immediate
booking is strongly recommended to ensure you get a place at the
sessions you want to attend..
We look forward to seeing you on 11th – 12th May 2004.
Kind regards,
Tobias Webb - Conference Director
