CSR Asia Workshop
Hong Kong, China, 8 November 2004

 
Part I (13.30 - 15.00)
 
This workshop by Richard Welford and Stephen Frost will examine the issues surrounding CSR in Asia. It will examine particular priority areas and review some of the "hot topics" in the region. If you are interested in CSR then you must be interested in what is happening in the "workshop of the world". Both workshop presenters have extensive experience of working with companies in Asia and dealing with the challenges. Take a look at the new website that Stephen and Richard have created. www.csr-asia.com
 
 
Part II (15.30 - 17.00)
 
Can a tobacco company ever be socially responsible?
 
This is set to be a lively and engaging debate - and a debate it will be - there is no hard sell here. What should a tobacco company do in Asia, for example, where over 50% of men smoke in some regions? What can any company do that has a product that damages its consumers? Should we shun tobacco companies or cooperate with them? Philip Morris wants to engage with their stakeholders. But do you want to engage with them?
