[psych-hr] Conference on Corporate Citizenship (Calcutta, 4-5 Dec)

*** CONFERENCE ANNOUNCEMENT - Please circulate ***

'CORPORATE CITIZENSHIP: MEETING THE CHALLENGES'
4-5 December, 2001. Calcutta, India   (www.csmworld.org)

Corporate citizenship is not just a western fad. It is of equal - if not more
- importance for developing countries, where the role of the private sector
in addressing poverty, human rights and sustainable development is rising
steeply up the agenda.

How are developing country firms, banks, public sector companies and others
responding to this challenge? What does corporate citizenship mean for them
and how are they internalizing it? How is the Global Compact being
implemented in countries like India? What does corporate accountability mean
for public sector firms? How is the corruption challenge being addressed?
What forms of multi-stakeholder partnership are emerging? What is the role of
the media? Does socially responsible investment mean anything?…

This conference - India's first Carbon Neutral® event - will bring together
senior figures from business and industry, finance, media, government and
NGOs to discuss these and related issues. Speakers will range from sectors
such as steel, aviation, professional services and energy, to mining &
minerals, manufacturing, media and finance.

The conference offers an excellent opportunity to learn from, and network
with, leading thinkers and doers in this vital area in Asia.

Full conference details - including speakers' biographies & on-line
registration - are available on the organizers website, Centre for Social
Markets: www.csmworld.org

Printed programmes are also available upon request from either CSM's India or
UK offices. Please contact us for any further information. Thank you.
