Corporate Citizenship - Building a Sustainable Business

U.S. businesses are creating new citizenship initiatives at a record pace. Yet, meeting the pressures of various stakeholders and optimising strategy to take advantage of opportunities can be a daunting task. How are U.S. businesses meeting the challenges? How does globalisation affect corporate citizenship? What is the role of government, advocacy groups, and public-private partnerships?

Economist Conferences is pleased to present Corporate Citizenship: Building a Sustainable Business, November 18-19th 2008 at The St Regis Hotel in San Francisco. The conference will address how leading companies are striving to be good corporate citizens, focusing on top-down strategies. Whether your role is finance, human resources, procurement, compliance, product development, marketing or strategy, this conference will tackle many aspects of corporate citizenship and address its implications in an interactive setting.

We are pleased to announce that John Chambers, Chairman and CEO, Cisco, has been added to the speaking faculty. He will address corporate citizenship in global operations and planning.

Topic areas include:

• Aligning overall strategy with optimal outcomes: How to influence the federal government to create new legislation and regulations.
• New opportunities and threats presented by globalisation and the supply chain.
• Setting up environmental, social and corporate governance programmes: Balancing expectations from consumers, employees and other stakeholders.
• Using corporate philanthropy as a strategic opportunity: How has it evolved over the past decade and how will it change going forward?
