New Opportunities

The July 17 workshops will provide a new opportunity for all EICC members to participate in in-depth discussions with work groups about their work plans and key initiatives.  The July 18 business meeting will be used to update members on organizational changes, tools and program improvements, and other association developments.  The July 19 conference will provide an opportunity for EICC members to engage with third-parties, including experts, other industries, and stakeholders, on emerging global CSR issues.

The EICC Member Survey was sent to primary representatives on Monday, April 30. All companies that were EICC members at the end of 2011 are required to complete the survey by Friday, May 25.
