The international conference entitled \u2018Business that Changes the World\u2019 is the highlight of the year-long celebration of the 15th anniversary of CSR partnership in Poland, conceived and initiated by the Responsible Business Forum (to read more about our organisation, please follow the link to the English version of our website: http:\/\/odpowiedzialnybiznes.pl\/english\/<\/a>). This two-day event will take place on 20\u201321 October 2015 in the Praha cinema in Warsaw (see map<\/a>).

The first day <\/strong>will follow a classic conference format. As a special guest of the conference, we invited Prof. Guy Standing from the University of London, who coined the term \u2018precariat\u2019 and wrote a book entitled \u2018The Precariat: The New Dangerous Class\u2019. During two discussion panels specialists and practitioners will try to look at the development of CSR over the years. The first panel will be a round table for CEOs from various companies who will consider the benefits of CSR to business and the society to date. This will be followed by an expert panel, attended, among others, by Prof. Guy Standing and Prof. Jerzy Hausner (Deputy Prime Minister in 2003\u20132005, a\u00a0government minister in 2001\u20132005, an economist, a lecturer at the Cracow University of\u00a0Economics). The discussion will aim to provide critical reflection on CSR. The panels will be followed by a presentation of the most recent results of the \u2018CSR Managers\u2019 survey in Poland and similar research results for Central Europe. The studies were conducted in collaboration between the Responsible Business Forum, PBS (a research services provider) and Deloitte.<\/p>\n

The second day <\/strong>is divided into three parallel sessions. The first one will be organised by the Responsible Business Forum, the second one by Ashoka Polska, whereas the third one will include film screenings. The guests of the session organised by the Responsible Business Forum will include inspiring speakers from the business community, organisations or NGOs who will talk about responsible business and sustainable development. This will provide conference participants with a starting point for an exchange of opinions.<\/p>\n
