OVERVIEW
On February 3rd, Rotman Commerce Beyond Business will host the inaugural Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Conference. February 3rd will be a historic day, marking Rotman Commerce’s dive into what CSR means to the perspective of an undergraduate student.
WHY ATTEND?
Corporate social responsibility has become a critical part of the decision making process for a wide range of companies, across numerous industries. Knowledge of this new dimension, and how it can impact business performance, has become a must for any new recruit in the business world who aspires to be a leader in their industry.
Rotman Commerce Beyond Business’ goal is to strengthen your ability to make educated decisions as an emerging business leader.
We have identified your student group as a great fit for the conference's value proposition and content, and thus we would be delighted if you could join us.
OUR VALUE PROPOSITIONS
LEARN
From the CSR continuum to the fiduciary duties involved with being a non-profit board director, the CSR Conference will allow you to acquire the knowledge that is lacking in the current academic curriculum and encourage you to be able to teach and inspire others.
INSPIRE
As an emerging business leader, the CSR Conference strives to have you carry this knowledge forward and offers you the opportunity to differentiate yourself to future employers from your strengthened understanding of what CSR is really about.
CONNECT
With industry pioneers, who have accomplished the creation of the RBC Blue Water Project and inspired stakeholders internationally through events like TEDx, are excited to share their knowledge with you.
