The past few years have seen a number of high-profile corporate scandals. From Enron in the US, to Livedoor, Kanebo and Chuo Aoyama Audit in Japan. These scandals have resulted in a greater awareness of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). Our four speakers, from the international business, financial media and legal communities, will cover key areas in this quickly evolving area. From the CSR policies of one company, to the legal implications of investing or not investing in the CSR movement, this seminar will take a multifaceted look at this new corporate citizenship.
