5th International CSR Summit 2019

The International CSR Summit 2019 (ICS 2019) – “Take a Stand: Delivering on the Global Goals”

The time to act is now. Aggressively. The International CSR Summit 2019 (ICS 2019) in Taipei once again unite more than 300 thought leaders, CSR doers, public sectors, civil society from across Asia on a dynamic platform with a joint theme Take A Stand: Delivering on the Global Goals.

What is your part in creating a sustainable world? This summit, we wish to influence business decision makers to aggressively deliver on the 2030 agenda through its 17 Sustainable Development Goals with the message “we need to take a stand, start acting and delivering on the global goals to create a better world, none of the Sustainable Development Goals can be met unless met for all.”

Echoing the movement of the 2019 World Economic Forum in Davos, the ICS 2019 also calls for leaders to ensure nothing is left behind, and to mobilise all resources from every sector to scale up faster to deliver effectiveness and impact, that includes innovation, financing and investment, capacity building and multi-stakeholder alliances.

Picking up from last year’s ICS theme “Building A Shared-Future”, where we focus on inclusivity to reach a Shared-Future, this round we aim to turn corporate sustainability from a nice idea into reality for businesses everywhere. As the heads of global businesses and conglomerates, it is our responsibility to send an urgent message to the world that we need to take a stand, to be more ambitious in our actions to create a better world, a sustainability-competent and low-carbon future. Join us at this summit to shape a sustainable future fit for humanity and generations to come.

Main Issues discussed in the International CSR Summit 2019 include:
• Rethinking Business Models: Identify new opportunities and innovations, long term strategies, policies, that help your business deliver positive social and climate impacts.
• Impactful Partnerships: Establishing coalitions across sectors, the more coalitions the greater the extent towards potential actions against climate change and sustainability issues.
