While many CSR conferences explore best practices for current CSR
professionals, this event will offer career development and guidance for
current students and mid-career professionals interested in entering
the CSR field. In the past, there was no direct educational path to
prepare for a CSR career and positions often were filled internally by
employees with interest, but little specific CSR or sustainability
education. Now, as more top companies view CSR as an integral part of
their business strategy, and with the creation of more uniform data
collection and reporting standards, there is increasing
professionalization within the field and more specific knowledge and
skill sets are in demand. However, what issues and skills are relevant
to a particular industry or business, and subsequently what type of
person will best fill that position, can vary greatly among industries.
This event will provide access to experts from a cross-section of
industries and businesses that take a variety of approaches to CSR work.
Perspectives will include:
