Event Details

UN SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals), a buzzword, an ideology, a CSR benchmark... However you might want to call it, it is undeniably the future path for companies. To know what UN SDGs are and to know how to employ them to guide a CSR program is a valuable skill that company leaders need to have. A sustainable MNC that looks to the future needs to know how to utilize these Goals to bring headquarters' CSR ideologies to the local market and engage the shareholders.


The AmCham Shanghai CSR Committee, together with SynTao, is pleased to bring to you, on May 10, from 2:30 to 4:30 PM, the first workshop, UN SDGs-Leading the CSR Charge, of a CSR Committee UN SDGs series. In this discussion-based workshop, you will be hearing cutting-edge ideas from thought leaders from SynTao and the CSR Committee and participating in engaging discussions with your fellow colleagues and peers from other companies. Industry leaders and corporate executives will come together and discuss how companies and communities can work together to increase public awareness on SDGs and navigate themselves through this new wave of CSR culture.


Dr. Guo and another 13 experts made an appeal on May 20, 2017, proposing that May 20 of every year be the "520 Social Responsibility Day." Dr. Guo urges everyone to show love to our planet and celebrate sustainable and responsible practices each year on this day. Dr. Guo will share his stories and experience during the discussion. Seating will be limited.
