M&S, BMW, BAA, Bloomberg, GRI, Nordea, Pirelli Share Lessons on Stakeholder Engagement

LONDON, August 20, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --

Senior experts from leading companies will gather in London on 20-21 November to share best practice on how to create an innovative reporting and communications strategy that does not rely on a CR report

Companies now recognise that whilst annual CR reporting is crucial, the CR report is just one method of engagement. The rules of CR engagement depend on the stakeholder. Consumers for example are unlikely to have heard of let alone read a CSR report.

This year's summit, Ethical Corporation's 6^th Annual CR Reporting and Communications Summit will have an expert line-up of speakers from the likes of; InterfaceFLOR, BMW, Pirelli, International Post Corporation, BAA, Caesars Entertainment, Bloomberg and more. Over two jam-packed days the speakers will highlight and showcase the opportunities within CR reporting, not just via the report, but also through the full spectrum of tools that can be used to engage stakeholders on sustainability.

Topics to be covered include: how to use social media to engage consumers on CR and how to de-escalate a social media storm, how to incorporate supplier performance into your CR report, future developments for CR reporting such as G4 and integrated reporting, how to engage critics transparently and use of ethical and sustainable messages to enhance stakeholder reputation.  

During the Summit delegates will be treated a live 'CR reporting X Factor show' where three selected reports will be critiqued on stage. Delegates who sign up before the end of August can submit their sustainability for a free twenty minute health check.

The Summit will provide the meeting place for over 150 delegates that work and specialise in CR reporting and communications.
