“The McGill CSR Program gave me global perspective, practical tools, meaningful insights and a large network to draw on.”Robert Gyamfi, Community Affairs Manager Golden Star Resources

csr is not a magic bullet making everything right and ‘happy.’ In the past it has sometimes been misapplied, destroying value and valuable relationships instead of creating them. But, if understood properly and practised strategically it can create value for companies, communities, governments and other stakeholders.

Participants will leave with strategic knowledge, a practical tool-kit and an extensive network to help make this happen through their organizations and projects.

csr can create value for all – but it MUst be done properly.

value creationwww.csr-exec-ed.com

“Our company is just starting to develop it’s global CSR strategy. What was so valuable was the dialogue with the other participants which included a diverse range from business right through to NGOs from all parts of the world.”Jay Grewal, Senior Vice President, Strategy & Stakeholder Affairs, Capstone Mining Corp

risk management…partnerships…strategy

Private sector and Development – senior representatives from industry, government, civil society and international organizations will discuss the emerging role of the private sector in development.

setting the stage for the comprehensive program that follows, we open with a high-level panel discussion on the private sector and development. Domestic and international business investments and operations are playing an increasingly important and strategic role in development and progress towards the Millennium Development Goals. The global impact of this influence is to raise societal expectations of business’s social responsibility towards the communities in which they operate.

Governance, communities and sustainable Development

corporations must engage with host governments and communities to promote sustainable development and shared value. This module provides key insights by asking what IS sustainable development, and why is engagement essential to achieving it?

We will identify and discuss the principal challenges including: historical suspicions within many communities; increasing community capacity for engaging with industry; poor governance in host countries, and ; environmental degradation.

history of corporate social responsibility

What is it…and what is it nOt? Where and how did it originate? What principal challenges does it face? More than just a historical perspective, this module reviews current issues and debates, and examines responsibility and shared value within the context of industry practices, international conventions, emerging global norms and sustainable development in general.

Emphasizing the nature of CSR in Africa and other developing countries, the discussion will include a broad overview of the roles, functions and interests of various actors.

responsibility…respect…relationships

“The quality of the lectures, the experience of the participants and the presence of mining, government and NGO executives made it a tremendous experience based on real situations in different parts of the world.”Alain Berranger, Board of Directors, Centre for International Studies and Cooperation (CECI)

A resounding recommendation for all levels of leaders.”Mark Thorpe, Senior VP, CSR and Environmental Affairs, Golden Star Resources

international Financial institutions, Multi-lateral Development Agencies and Official Development Agencies (ODA)

international financial institutions, Multi-lateral Development Agencies and Official Development Agencies have become important csr stakeholders. how does this work?

Most of these organizations have programs that facilitate collaboration with private sector partners on Millennium Development Goal types of projects and activities and encourage improved developmental outcomes from private sector investments and operations.

Using real life cases and programs decision-makers and practitioners from organizations like the United Nations, International Finance Corporation, USAID, CIDA, GTZ and others faculty will help participants to understand these organizations and to know when and how to work with them to support CSR programs and projects

the rule of law and the regulatory environment

new national, international and voluntary codes of conduct emerge almost weekly. Global norms evolve constantly how can csr keep up? Through the evolution of Business Codes of Conduct and Regulatory Requirements, the social aspects of business are coming under increasing scrutiny. In addition, there is growing expectation that Voluntary Principles be respected.

This module provides an overview with important insights into this complex and rapidly developing area. Particular attention will be given to evolving global norms as well as some of the major codes of conduct and reviewing norms that have emerged in relation to compliance and enforcement.

the corporate Perspective

successful businesses have to understand and work with financial markets and business stakeholders as critical constituencies. Just what does this mean from the corporate perspective? This module will take participants inside both the business and operational aspects of CSR including the rapidly-evolving relationship between financial markets and CSR.

It will also use case studies and practical experience to explore how CSR can both create opportunity and mitigate risk at both a project and corporate level. Internal CSR communications and consensus building will also be explored.

non-Governmental Organizations

nGOs are increasingly collaborating with companies and other stakeholders - why, who benefits, and how? Non-Governmental Organizations are increasingly finding that their own objectives can be furthered by collaboration to develop, implement, facilitate, coordinate and oversee CSR programs and create shared value for all stakeholders.

This module examines this important role played by NGOs in CSR projects, and explains how these same CSR projects can help NGOs to further their organizational and development objectives. It will also explore the role and potential of micro-credit as a CSR tool and potential NGO/private sector collaboration.

integrating crs into the bigger perspective

how can csr be incorporated into capacity-building for investment and negotiation? In this module we examine the challenges and opportunities of integrating CSR into large-scale investor projects in emerging markets.

We focus on the extractive sector, exploring both greenfield projects and on-going operations. During the session we address issues such as: the scope of CSR in emerging market economies; host country government policy and economic development frameworks; the role of international standards and guidelines; investor objectives; resource nationalism; host country government capacity.

csr and education

Public and community education is a key component of the Millennium Development Goals and has become an important aspect of most csr strategies and programs. how can csr programs work effectively with other education stakeholders?

Primary, secondary and tertiary education, skills development and training and other forms of education represent important CSR investment opportunities. They are also opportunities for collaboration with governments, communities and international development stakeholders.

This session will explore the structure of educational systems with regard to the intervention, partnership and collaboration potential for companies and civil society.

Day 5 Friday 8 november

csr reporting & communication

csr reporting and communication has become a costly and complex aspect of corporate csr. how can we better understand and work more efficiently with this? Communities, governments, partners, shareholders and other stakeholders want timely and meaningful information on CSR activities, policies and programs. In response to this there is a growing plethora of reporting frameworks and protocols, many of which are trying to position themselves as ‘the’ global standard.

This session will explore the issue of CSR reporting and communications and how to reduce complexity and cost while improving overall communications around key issues and projects

Group exercise Participants will work through a practical, fun and exciting group exercised to consolidate the learnings from the week and to anchor a commitment to utilize them in order to make a difference in their work and their organizations.
