The 8th Egypt CSR Forum aims to raise awareness on the importance of bringing about development amongst different stakeholders, to achieve sustainable development and effective partnerships, thus achieving sustainable growth. For this very reason, CSR Egypt is launching “How to integrate sustainability into core business strategies” on the 21st and 22nd of April 2019, with the participation of a number of businessmen, government representatives, experts and sustainability stakeholders.
The forum will discuss and circulate around the importance of integrating sustainable development strategies into the planning and measurement processes of commercial companies. It also aims to highlight the mechanisms of integrating sustainable development strategies into the business plans of companies, as well as integrating profitability objectives with corporate social responsibility.
This will be achieved by creating local standards for the SDGs, to make them more feasible and useful; thus, ensuring sustainable development. Furthermore, the forum will shed light on what has been achieved in Egypt’s 2030 plans, the key players who implement these plans, and the opportunities available in each sector to achieve sustainable growth; in addition to including these efforts and activities in sustainability reports and how to create strong social awareness to improve the lives of Egyptian citizens.
The forum will also discuss the futuristic vision of Egypt to achieve development, the role of the stakeholders in building these plans, how to prepare responsible generations in the future and their role in achieving sustainable development. It will also highlight the role of institutions in sustaining their development work and how to link the activities of different departments to achieve the objectives of the entire business model.
The Forum is considered the largest platform to gather all CSR stakeholders in Egypt, to share experiences, visions and creating effective partnerships. In addition, it is an effective tool for promoting initiatives and highlighting the efforts of the private sector, in order to bring about real development and create a serious dialogue with different stakeholders.
