The Responsible Business Summit is returning on 11 - 12 May 2009 for the eighth time. This conference brings together the leading minds in the corporate world to discuss the sustainability and CSR challenges facing business over the coming year.

Given the current economic climate, this year's summit will be focused on how corporate responsibility will be affected by recession. Will your CSR department be shrunk, or even closed altogether? Or will CSR be an invaluable source of new business opportunities and innovation that your board cannot afford to lose?

Topics to be covered at this dynamic and interactive Summit will include:

  • Sustainability in a downturn
  • Embedding corporate responsibility in your company
  • Climate change regulation and expectations
  • The potential and challenges of emerging markets
  • Cutting edge practices in community engagement
  • How to convince the board to keep investing in CSR in a recession
  • Working in partnership for transformational change
  • Supply chain challenges: a look across the whole chain
