csr qatar 2013
DESCRIPTION
Corporate Social Responsibility in the GCC is evolving to meet the requirements of its changing socio-economic landscape. Qatar plays a leading role in promoting social responsibility and has taken the lead in many areas of relevance. Qatar has shown growing interest on a global scale. Qatari companies have long understood their responsibilities to the local community and have consistently shown their support for activities that improve the lives and environment of the people of Qatar. Qatar's approach to sustainability is linked to the four pillars that underpin the Qatar National Vision 2030 and it is important to create a platform where more businesses can understand the benefits of CSR and foster partnerships with each other to drive results. Although CSR is advanced in a few organisations, in many it's function, role and application isn't well understood. The Summit will be a part of a series of CSR conferences run by IIR Middle East, with Summit's also held in Dubai and Saudi Arabia. The event presents a timely and practical agenda, driven by experienced experts who will share a 'no-frills' insight into the challenges encountered and success stories implemented. Programme Highlights - Understand CSR's benefits to the nation's socioeconomic landscape - Embed specific drivers within your engagement plan to sustain CSR ROI - Assess CSR models which align to your core business agenda - Enhance the social value of your supply chain pyramid - Analyse the direct impact of CSR to your bottom line - Gain insight into community development initiatives which result in entrepreneurial projects - Utilise expert knowledge to initiate gender diverse opportunitiesTRANSCRIPT

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is synonymous with the State of Qatar. A nation that gives to its people, community and the world at large has CSR as a national priority. Core resource-led industries such as oil , gas, finance and utilities have led CSR initiatives supported strongly by government institutions and Sovereign Wealth Fund (SWF) initiatives. They are now regarded as models of CSR from which others wish to learn and gain understanding as to how best to implement CSR within their organisations.
IIRME’s 1st annual CSR Summit in Qatar is a platform where Qatar prides itself on sharing its achievements regarding responsible corporate conduct within its community, consumers and employees, setting a benchmark for the world to follow.

BUSINESS AGENDA OF CSR9.30 From CSR to CSO – Rethinking models of corporate–
community relations in the GCC Traditional models of CSR focus on a company’s responsibility
to its stakeholders and communities surrounding their operations. The booming GCC markets are experiencing the emergence of new companies, new publics and new stakeholders that must be addressed by CSR directors. Meanwhile, international companies are working to find white space and relevance in their corporate responsibility actions in the region.
