Corporate Social Responsibility Series
Over the last decade, many private firms have begun to consciously engage in what has been come to be called "Corporate Social Responsibility" (CSR), the effort to achieve societal goals while still enhancing corporate profitability (to do good and do well). In turn, non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and international institutions alike have increasingly attempted to harness market forces to the public good. These firms and organizations have sought to further a variety of environmental, health, labor, and social goals, both at home and abroad. Over the course of the 2008-09 academic year, a series of lectures and discussions was offered by academics, businesspeople, NGO leaders, and UN representatives on this wide-ranging movement and the private sector's untapped potential for confronting socioeconomic and environmental challenges.
This series was co-sponsored by the Program in Environmental Studies, Office of Environmental Affairs, Career Services Office, and the Rohatyn Center for International Affairs.
