Abstract

Multiple global risks and existential threats facing companies for which boards are responsible have social consequences. So too do corporate and other activities that cause or contribute to them and corporate and other reactions and responses to them. The purpose of this Theme Paper is to explore areas on the agenda for the forthcoming 18th International Conference on Corporate Social Responsibility (ICCSR). It suggests issues and questions that directors and other participants might wish to consider in advance and discuss with their peers at the event. It includes references to investigations and studies related to the conference agenda. Areas covered and to be discussed at the conference include corporate social responsibility, boardroom strategies on achieving SDGs using effective CSR, CSR as a strategic imperative in corporate boardrooms, exploring CSR strategies for the boardroom, the role of public enterprises in promoting community relationships, understanding the benefits of socially and environmentally responsible leadership, ESG strategy and the board’s role in sustainability through CSR, the responsible use of technology and inclusion, beyond profit and embracing CSR for better compliance and outcomes, corporate responsibilities from community and stakeholder perspectives, responsible CSR assessment and reporting, CSR and directorial responsibilities, and sharing insights and recommitting to responsible leadership. Given the common challenges, risks and existential threats facing facing boards, communities, societies and the environment and their likely future consequences, collaboration, collective responses, doing things differently, and transition and transformation journeys are required. Participation in ICCSR and other IOD international events create important opportunities to refresh, update and share, and to network, build the relationships, and explore the partnerships that might enable our survival.
