Transformational Corporate Social Responsibility:
The Next Wave of Business Leadership, Innovation and Performance


What are the new, creative ideas to transform business, embed CSR and elevate Environmental, Social and Governance performance? The Summit will highlight current strategies and practical case studies, while looking at the trends, policies and programs that are advancing business practice. How can businesses take a transformative approach to Corporate Social Responsibility - to  gain competitive advantage as industry game changers?


We can see a growing pressure from governments, customers, communities and NGOs for businesses to ambitiously become more environmentally and socially responsible. Leading businesses are thriving on this changing industry climate, showing positive bottom lines through a heightened awareness of future risks and opportunities. What does it take to be a leader?


Hear from a panel of leading decision makers including:
Visionaries: Ray Anderson (Interface) and Jeffrey Hollender (Seventh Generation)
Experts: John Ruggie (UN Special Representative for Business and Human Rights)
Executives: Elyse Allen (GE Canada), and David Labistour (MEC)
Next-Gen Leaders: Gerry Butts (WWF-Canada), Justin Trudeau (MP, Papineau)
The CBSR Summit for Corporate Social Responsibility is coming soon and we expect a sell-out crowd as in previous years. Sign up today to guarantee your spot at the Summit and in the hands-on workshops on November 4 and 6 – at a discounted rate until September 18th.
