CSR and green initiatives are no longer viewed as add-ons—they are strategic imperatives. More consumers are demanding that brands be socially responsible, even going so far as to base their purchasing decisions on whether brands support good causes—despite the changes brought about by the recession. And the public is savvy to any hint of green-washing.

This means that CSR and green initiatives have become top priorities for PR professionals and communicators. They recognize that an organization can reap reputational and financial gains from a strong, transparent and sincere CSR program.

Still, questions abound:

1. How do you create an authentic communications message around your CSR commitments?

2. How do you determine best issues/causes to support?

3. How do you leverage the power of PR to boost your CSR and green PR presence?

4. What exactly is PR’s role in CSR and green PR?

5. And how do you measure your effectiveness for consumers and the C-suite?

In this Forum , you’ll discover the latest CSR communications trends, the business case for communicating authentic CSR and green PR activities and a methodology for developing a strategic CSR communications plan. You’ll get behind-the-scenes CSR case studies from leaders in this area and learn how to apply next practices in CSR to your organisation.

Key issues to be Discovered;

* The latest trends in green PR and social responsibility
* Strategies for launching green PR campaigns – including detailed case studies
* How to forge meaningful and measurable CSR partnerships – including lessons learned
* How to boost employee engagement in CSR initiatives
* How to create an effective CSR or sustainability report and rejuvenate existing reports
* What types of financial and human resources you need for your CSR communications
* Smart and cost-effective measurement tactics for your CSR campaigns

The first of the South African government's challenges is to steer the country out of recession. This at a time when growth drivers at home and globally are rare.

Secondly, it needs to build the foundations of future competitiveness, particularly by ensuring a reliable energy supply and the availability of skilled human resources.

And finally, the government needs to address the growing concerns of its electorate, providing jobs, housing and electricity, better schooling and healthcare. In short, a more equal distribution of the wealth of South Africa.

Economist Conferences' Seventh Business Roundtable with the Government of South Africa will bring together leading ministers with both international and South African corporate leaders and experts from The Economist Group.
Join us to discuss new policy approaches to these three challenges and examine how they will impact business.


Why you should attend?

* Be part of an open discussion between senior corporate leaders and the highest levels of government
* Update on the key issues affecting South Africa with expert commentary and analysis from The Economist
* Network with an international audience of senior executives at this high-powered event
