The event will feature a discussion of research into corporate social responsibility (CSR) programs and the risks they present to investors in Emerging Markets.  The discussion will offer an overview of CSR programs and strategies currently being pursued in Emerging Markets.  It will also raise the issue of whether ‘Western’ CSR standards are appropriate for Emerging economies, and the level of opportunity or risk they present.

Ambassador Alan Oxley, Chairman, World Growth and the APEC Study Centre – Corporate Social Responsibility as an Investment Risk in Emerging Markets
