Helping the supply chain do better: Capacity building in factories
2 November 2008 (a.m.)
“How do we get our factories to follow our code of conduct or even comply with local laws?” Most companies that take their social and environmental responsibilities seriously have asked this question. The answer is not easy,
but this workshop will outline some of the ways that CSR Asia has developed training and capacity building in the
supply chain and show that there is a strong business case for embedding CSR in factories.

Stakeholder engagement
2 November 2008 (p.m.)
In order to practice corporate social responsibility (CSR) there is a need for companies to define exactly what is responsible, which can only be done in dialogue with stakeholders. This session will outline the ways in which
stakeholders can be identified, prioritized and engaged, stressing the need for an ongoing dialogue to highlight
emerging trends and issues and establishing effective partnerships.

Community investment and community impact: Measuring what matters
5 November 2008 (a.m.)
"What gets measured gets managed and what gets managed gets done" is a widely quoted management
philosophy. However, is the same principle also guiding companies' approaches to community engagement, community investment and understanding community impact? Join this session to learn about current approaches to measurement of community investment and community impact.

Is the social media worth engaging? Evidence from the on the ground
5 November 2008 (p.m.)
What is the worst scenario you can think of involving a disgruntled customer with a digital camera and access
to YouTube? If the picture forming in your mind is horrifying, then this workshop is for you. This session will provide you with the broad scope of the new social media, identify key trends in Asia and outline best practices of how companies are responding to the social media, public relations and new forms of engagement.
