In today’s rapidly evolving world, corporations are no longer solely focused on profit. They are increasingly recognised for their role in driving social and environmental change.
This event explores how corporations are engaging in philanthropy, sustainability, and social responsibility. We will dive into how these entities are utilising charitable foundations, ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) reporting, and sustainability certifications to create lasting positive change.
Join us to discuss how these emerging practices are reshaping industries and society. This event aims to explore the changing role of corporations in philanthropy and their responsibility for driving social and environmental impact.
The discussion will focus on four key areas where corporations are making a significant difference:
1. Corporate Foundations and Charities
Many corporations have taken the initiative to establish charitable foundations. These foundations serve as powerful tools for supporting causes aligned with a company’s values and contributing to broader societal goals. By creating dedicated funds and programs, businesses are amplifying their social impact and creating lasting positive change.
2. Regulatory and Reporting Pressures
With increasing regulatory requirements, companies are now expected to report on their Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) performance. This session will discuss how these reporting requirements are driving businesses to adopt more sustainable practices and align their operations with the greater good.
3. Accreditations and Certifications
Certifications like B Corp are gaining prominence, providing a standard to measure a corporation's overall social and environmental impact. This discussion will examine the role of these certifications in guiding corporate behaviour and ensuring that companies are accountable for their contributions to positive change.
4. Geopolitical Issues and Corporate Responsibility
Global political dynamics significantly influence corporate strategies, particularly in philanthropy and sustainability. This session will explore how corporations navigate international regulations, trade policies, and political instability while maintaining their commitment to social impact. Topics include responding to humanitarian crises, ethical supply chains, and the role of corporations in promoting global stability.
