Corporate Social Responsibility. It’s not just a catchy phrase anymore. Now more than ever companies are focused on attracting and retaining the best talent. 

Without strategic CSR in place, this will become impossible.  According to CSR Cone Study, “9 of 10 Americans expect companies to do more than make a profit, they should also address social and environmental issues.But, doing good is also good for business. CSR touches every aspect of a company – positively impacting revenue, brand awareness, team culture, boosting morale, and helping employees and employers feel more connected with the world around them.

Hear from a panel of experts on why CSR is important to their business, employees and community – and why it should be important to you. Learn about what motivates them to make CSR a top priority and how to implement and maximize CSR into your own organization.
