Beyond Philanthropy: CSR in the Social Justice Era

Description:

Gone are the days when companies could just cut a check to an executive’s favorite non-profit and check a box to say that they are “doing good.” In today’s complex social environment, employees, customers, investors, and other corporate stakeholders are more closely scrutinizing how companies give back to the community and address social issues. To make a true impact, companies must look at the issue they’re addressing holistically, and be willing to engage in an authentic, meaningful way with comprehensive programs, spanning internal policies, philanthropy, and public policy engagement. This session will provide you with the best practices on how to create a robust, meaningful, and defendable corporate social impact program.
