Sustainable Communities & Business Engagement
Event Information
Description
CSR and sustainability are phrases often misunderstood and underestimated. Some say CSR is dead. Often community engagement takes place for very natural reasons, with no agenda.
But we are now seeing a significant shift in attitudes and needs, opening up new and innovative opportunities for business, with some companies well ahead of the game.
In this session, we will be exploring this rich spectrum of opportunities, with some very interesting and impactful examples that will inspire and open your minds to new and exciting possibilities for you, your business, your staff and the communities in and around Bicester.
