Organizations need to move beyond the balance sheet in order to thrive in a socially connected and environmentally conscious world. Internally, integrated CSR programs allow businesses and associations to boost employee engagement. Externally, they can help enhance reputation and advance public affairs goals by attempting to avoid unfavorable policy and build relationships with key stakeholders. This session will provide strategic and tactical advice on how to enhance your organization’s efforts with CSR.
Our experts will discuss:
- How to integrate CSR with other public affairs functions

3:15 p.m. Case Studies: Impacting Policy Debates with Transparency and Creating New Markets with Sustainability
Policy debates are going to occur around the world with or without input from your organization. However, without constructive engagement, the solutions developed by others may not effectively address the problem. Rather than retreat, firms should engage by embracing transparency and innovation. We’ll discuss how to develop solutions to existential threats with CSR.
Our private sector and trade association experts will discuss how to:
- Use CSR reporting and transparency to address key public policy challenges
- Create new opportunities by embracing environmental stewardship
- Identify partners for cross-industry sustainability initiatives
