 "Corporate Social Responsibility in New Zealand"

January 2009

The greater awareness of environmental and ethical issues of today has led to an increase in the interest of business’ affect on society.  Corporate social responsibility (CSR) suggests that organizations have an obligation to consider the interests of customers, employees, shareholders, communities, and ecological consciousness in all aspects of their operations.  

CSR is emerging as a vital issue for organizations to consider in their long term strategic planning.  As one of the top nations in the world for its commitment to corporate social responsibility, New Zealand provides an ideal learning environment for business leaders. 

Join the Terry College's Office of Executive Programs for an intimate introduction to CSR and the business environment of New Zealand.  During the international residency, corporate visits provide direct interaction with management teams of firms doing business in that country.  Corporate site visits will include both international and native New Zealand corporations, known for their dedication to CSR, in a variety of markets. 

Cultural activities are interspersed with corporate visits giving a broader-based understanding of the realities of operating in a foreign environment.
