Join us to hear a discussion on Creating Shared Value (CSV) and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) with Fay Hanleybrown, Managing Director of FSG and Henk Campher, Senior Vice President, CSR & Sustainability at Edelman.

FSG states that creating shared value involves value creation for business that simultaneously yields more profit and greater social impact – resulting in powerful transformations and opportunities for growth and innovation in both business and society. Some say that it’s the new Corporate Social Responsibility. However, Henk Campher says, “CSV isn’t the new CSR. It is a way of practicing CSR. I would even go so far as to say that it is the ideal way of practicing CSR finding the shared value with society (or specific stakeholder groups). But it isn’t something different from CSR.” Come discuss with us!
