Join Be Social Change and the New York Corporate Social Responsibility Meetup on Thursday, October 15th for a panel discussion on the Future of Corporate Social Responsibility – Can Business Be Used as a Force for Good? as we explore the trends, challenges, and best practices in CSR.

There is a growing expectation that businesses take into account not only their bottom line but also the impact they have on society and the environment. Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is a business practice that involves company initiatives that give back – for example, donating a portion of proceeds to charity, minimizing carbon emissions and waste, organizing employee volunteer opportunities, or initiating cause-marketing programs – each designed to use business as a force for good.

With more companies integrating CSR practices, this panel discussion will explore the challenges and opportunities of using business to positively impact society and the environment. How do businesses meet these imperatives while maintaining their economic competitiveness? How can they measure, track, and report on the impact that CSR initiatives have on both their community and their bottom-line? And how will these trends affect the future of how we do business?

{Drinks and snacks will be provided!}
