Conference July2006
Welcome to the First
conference on Stimulating Corporate Social Investments for sustainable
transformation, where we take a long hard look at the following
issues...
- how far we have come as
a sector in changing lives of those stuck in the poverty grind?
- are we learning from each
other, are we making a difference, are we creating wealth and
are we distributing our CSI budgets fairly?
- do we still have
companies out there who continue with a ‘donations ’culture
of handing-over cheques to good causes or have we passed all that
and entered the realms of being values based, making the world
a better place and forming strategic partnerships that provide
long-term solutions?
- are we talking to
the right people, working with the right NPO’s and CBO’s,
those who understand suffering and scarcity of resources or are
we just sticking to an agenda?
