You are cordially invited to participate in
Exploring the Boundaries of CSR
A half day Seminar-Workshop to be held on
Monday 1 December, 2.00 - 5.30pm
College Building, Middlesex University,
The Burroughs, Hendon, London NW4 4BT
Seminar Workshop Series “Corporate Social Responsibility and Development”
This seminar workshop will explore the boundaries of CSR by looking at the relationship between CSR and Development in its widest sense, given the many recent policy discussions/calls for a contribution of the private sector towards “international development”. The linking of CSR to development goals is hugely significant, in that firms are not simply expected to act responsibly in their operations, but to play a role in public interventions such as the United Nations’ Millennium Development Goals. To what extent can companies fulfil such roles? What areas should they focus on? What is the role of other actors?
Speakers include:
Thomas Dodds
Corporate Social Responsibility Team of the European Commission in Brussels
Peter Utting
Deputy Director, United Nations Research Institute for Social Development in Geneva
Edward Bickham
Group Head, External Relations, Anglo American plc
Beverly Hall
International Development Coordinator, trade union Prospect
The seminar workshop series is funded by the Economic and Social Research Council. The organisers include: Professor George Frynas (Middlesex University), Prof. Michael Blowfield (University of Cambridge and University of Oxford), Prof. Rhys Jenkins and Prof. Peter Newell (University of East Anglia), David Fig (University of the Witwatersrand, South Africa) and consultancy firm Article 13/Wheelhouse.
