3rd International CSR Summit to be held in Bangkok in June

INTERNATIONAL CSR Summit (ICS), Asia’s large scale and regional summit, for the third time, will gather the top CSR thought leaders, doers, speakers and practitioners under one roof.

The 3rd International CSR Summit 2017 will be held on June 2 to 3 in Renaissance Bangkok Ratchaprasong Hotel, with 300 CSR thought leaders and practitioners expected to attend from across the Asian region.

Themed “Sustainability Beyond Borders,” the summit offers a high-level networking platform that fosters interconnecting partnerships for the CSR community, and urges global sustainability collaborations — a call to move beyond their borders.

Other highlights include mapping UN-SDGs into operations, industry-wide alliances, CSR ambassadors, CSR innovation, sustainability reporting, intriguing real life stories from CSR pioneers.

It is time countries come together to brave the waves of global sustainability challenges and brainstorm and define solutions. It is imperative that thought leaders need to maneuver the wheels of CSR transformation in their organizations. Speaking companies include B.Grimm, Interface Asia Pacific, Kusaga Athletic, Bangchak Petroleum, Adidas HK, Coca-Cola, United Nations Thailand, SEC Thailand, Thai Union, Response Ability, KPMG, from the office of the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment, and parliamentarians coming from different parts of Asia.

As CSR continues to be a dynamic element for all organizations, this year, we continue to see leaders incorporating social purpose as vital components in building their strong organizational strategies. Companies are also called to pay more attention to UN’s Sustainable Development Goals, and to work with respective governments on specific targets to achieve over the next 15 years. Other important trends include the growing number of partnerships and alliances in business, CSR is no longer a SILO initiative that is only the responsibility of the CSR team.
