CCM8 -Business Ethics and Social Responsibility:

Leverage the CSR Agenda to Develop a Moral Code of Conduct to Manage Risks & Create Shared Value

Introduction

In a world where moral values that were previously taken for granted are now strongly questioned, there is no clear moral compass to guide leaders through complex dilemmas about what is right or wrong when managing Risks and Opportunities. Effective leaders and managers must recognize that sustainable profitable growth for their organizations is not possible without considering the needs and demands of broader society on a broader range of ethical and social issues. This workshop explores the complex ethical and social challenges of business and provide a framework that will help participant identify and act on the ethical and social dimensions of business issues, make reasoned decisions when faced with a dilemma, and justify decisions and actions to stakeholders and the public within a social context. It further explores how to build a Business Model based on CSR with active compliance with the spirit of regulations and ethical standards to create shared value through a positive impact of an organization’s activities on the environment, consumers, employees, communities and other stakeholders.
