There is an ongoing debate on the most effective means of communicating
corporate responsibility. Some think CSR reports are the best means, others
think corporate leadership is what really counts. Yet others believe that
the future of CSR communications lies in telling the story in a visual
format such as videos. The following questions will structure our discussion
on this topic:

*The pitfalls of CSR communications and how companies could avoid them.
CSR reporting and how effective it is.
Measuring CSR communication and how to do it well.*
