What is social responsibility? For business leaders, the definition of social responsibility has evolved from a practice most common at large companies to an essential part of every business, large or small. In this interactive workshop hosted by the Corporate Social Responsibility Committee, participants will learn the basics of social responsibility and how to leverage an exclusive tool-kit to optimize how they positively impact their community. Social responsibility can change, and even simplify, the way business leaders think about the sustainable success of their business.
