ACCSR's 5th Annual Conference - THE STATE OF CSR IN AUSTRALIA

Start the year with the information you need to succeed in 2012!

Proponents of CSR have long argued that CSR brings benefits to both business and society. For business, the benefits are a good reputation and the chance to avoid or minimise risks to business stability. But is there more to the business case than that?

Can CSR actually create new value for a business, by helping to invent new products, provide services in less costly ways, open new markets or design unique business models? Can it also improve the quality of governance and management?

This conference will assert that innovation and value creation are the next frontier in demonstrating the business case for CSR.

Scheduled Speakers include:

• The The Hon Tim Pallas MP, Member for Tarneit, Shadow Minister for Ports, Infrastructure, Major Projects, Freight and Logistics, Employment and Industrial Relations
• Professor Dirk Matten, Hewlett-Packard Chair in Corporate Social Responsibility, Schulich School of Business, York University
• Ben Waters, Director, ecomagination, GE Australia & New Zealand
• Mike Foster, CEO Fujitsu Australia
• Sean O’Toole, Managing Director, Landcom
• Professor Malcolm McIntosh, Director, Asia Pacific Centre for Sustainable Enterprise, Griffith Business School, Griffith University
• Steve Vamos, President, Society for Knowledge Economics
• Sue-Ern Tan, Acting CEO, NSW Minerals Council
• Rebecca Sherwill, Head of Education, NAB

The conference will form a vital part of Australia’s contribution to discuss the new and up until recently unattended relationship between CSR and innovation. It will answer some important questions about innovation, value creation, and CSR in the Australian business context.
