SUMMARY:Local Councils & Business CSR Investments Workshop
DESCRIPTION:The business sector is a thriving force in any city and contribute significantly to its success. But often companies take their investment and CSR decisions without connecting with City’s urban regeneration strategies\, aimed at improving disadvantaged neighbourhoods. The policy challenge is therefore to improve vision\, civic engagement\, knowledge sharing and\, in the end\, common action towards areas where companies are based or on key urban challenges: social inclusion\, education\, health\, innovation\, culture\, public space\, greening\, etc. Joining forces would be reciprocally beneficial. Companies seek locations that are pleasant\, mixed\, lively and safe\, and boost a high quality of life and environment\, where workers are happy to work and live. Through their CSR\, they pay greater attention to social and environmental concerns. Municipalities play a leading role in urban improvement\, have a complete overview of needy areas and ongoing issues\, plus the actual power to influence decisions and actions in many fields. \nObjectivesTo have a platform where local councils can engage corporates in regeneration projects as well as to encourage the private sector players boost and channel their CSR funds towards effective collective actions. \nTopics \n\nHow can local councils harness private sector CSR Investments\nLeveraging on the power of PPP\nTransforming from Linear to circularity-Smart Cities\nEnvironmental legislation\, duties\, responsibilities and opportunities for local authorities\nUrban Councils Stakeholder engagement methods\n\nWho Can Attend \n\nUrban Local Authorities Officials (Business or Investment Desks)\nMayors/Councillors\nInvestors for Urban Projects\nBusiness Leaders\nCivic organisations\nAny other interested Stakeholders\n\nFor participation fees & sponsorship opportunities kindly contact us on: \n08644291997 / 0774768895 / 0784069760 / 0774529136 \nadmin@csrnetworkzimbabwe.co.zw\, maud@csrnetworkzimbabwe.co.zw\, finance@csrnetworkzimbabwe.co.zw \n \nShare this post:
