Greetings!
Transparency is quickly becoming a key issue in the world of corporate social responsibility. Consumers are demanding more information, sustainability in supply chains necessitate more data sharing and certainly social media is adding a whole new element to information dissemination.
Key to successful navigation of transparency issues, is engaging your stakeholders in your sustainability efforts - not doing so, results in the assumption that you're not doing anything. Understanding what's important to your community, your customers and consumers in general, and sharing information on your company's goals and efforts helps to chart a course to smoother sailing.
This fall's Sustainability Roundtables will focus on discussing these issues and give you the opportunity to gain new insight. To find out more about the Roundtables and the many other fantastic CSR learning opportunties, check out our Fall Events Calendar.

Not sure whether the Institute for Corporate Sustainability is right for you?
Here are a couple of great reasons to consider ...
quotes from 2011 alumni.
"I would highly recommend the Institute to anyone who is responsible for starting, building, or maintaining their organization's strategy around sustainability. You could not get this much rich content and discussion with high level peers anywhere else. I found the Institute to be incredibly valuable."
"Great information, great networking opportunities with likeminded folks, and ability to hear about how other co's are working on and thinking about sustainability."
The optional Certificate, allows you to develop a Capstone project specific to your interests, with the assistance of a expert mentor, and the networking and guidance of three Stepping Stone get-togethers along the way!
The Institute will be held November 7-9th
at UNH, Durham!
