Corporate Social Responsibility Strategies to Create Business and Social Value

Who Is Right for the Program

This program is designed primarily for senior executives who direct corporate social responsibility programs at large established companies or who oversee departments such as public affairs, philanthropy, sustainability, environmental health and safety, or community affairs. Senior officers with profit-and-loss responsibilities also will benefit from attending.

Individuals or teams from companies representing a variety of industries are encouraged. While the perspective is corporate, a limited number of senior nonprofit executives who supervise large-scale strategic corporate partnerships will be considered for admission, ideally as part of a corporate–nonprofit team.

This program is not targeted to management support organizations or consulting firms. Typical participant titles include, but are not limited to:

  • CEO/Executive director
  • Senior vice president
  • Vice president of corporate and community relations
  • Vice president of corporate social responsibility
  • Vice president of development
  • Vice president of environmental health and safety

"The program was enlightening. It has enabled me to approach CSR in a new way—creating win/win/win outcomes for societal impact, corporate results, and personal pride and satisfaction. It has motivated the thinking of CSR strategy to be integrated into delivering business results. I now have a clear vision of the ultimate stage of a successful CSR integration."
