ABOUT CSR and Sustainability Reporting and Best Practices
The practice of CSR is much debated and criticized. Proponents argue that there is a strong business case for CSR, in that corporations benefit in multiple ways by operating with a perspective broader and longer than their own immediate, short-term profits. Critics argue that CSR distracts from the fundamental economic role of businesses; others argue that it is nothing more than superficial window-dressing; others yet argue that it is an attempt to pre-empt the role of governments as a watchdog over powerful multinational corporations. Corporate Social Responsibility has been redefined throughout the years. However, it essentially is titled to aid to an organization's mission as well as a guide to what the company stands for and will uphold to its consumers.
Ceres Conference 2010: Roadmap for a Sustainable Future
At this moment in time we face a unique opportunity to transform our economic system from one of short-term gains and too-high risks to one where long-term prosperity and corporate social responsibility go hand-in-hand.
As countries continue to negotiate a global deal on climate following the Copenhagen Accord, the U.S. continues to work toward adopting comprehensive national climate and energy policies. While we wait for these milestones to bring us closer to a cleaner, greener, more sustainable way of doing business, corporations and investors alike are exploring solutions and seizing opportunities that will help us prosper in a low-carbon economy.
For 20 years, Ceres has brought together companies, investors, environmentalists and other stakeholders to integrate sustainable solutions into business strategy and build long-term shareholder value. At the Ceres Conference 2010: Roadmap for a Sustainable Future, we will again bring these partners together to examine and define the key issues and solutions for achieving a sustainable future.
Join us in Boston as we bring together corporate directors, CEOs, environmental and labor leaders, investors, and corporate governance experts to build a cleaner, more sustainable future.
