Why take part in Meet the CSR Leaders
What qualifications do you need for a career in sustainability? What hard skills and soft skills are necessary for CSR specialists? What academic path should be followed to become a CSR manager, or follow an organisation’s environmental and social strategy? What sort of work experiences are useful to develop the knowhow for these roles? The sustainability professionals at the CSR exhibition will answer these and other questions, offering their own personal and career experiences as examples and chatting with students.
Meet the CSR Leaders is a way to promote wide-ranging sustainability knowledge and look to the future, helping the specialists of tomorrow find their way in a working world where sustainability expertise is essential.
THE CSR EXHIBITION AND SOCIAL INNOVATION
The purpose of the CSR exhibition – promoted by the Bocconi University, Sustainability Makers (the new name of CSR Manager Network), Unioncamere, Global Compact Network Italia, ASviS, Fondazione Sodalitas, Koinètica – is to keep attention focused on sustainability throughout the year, to collect and share positive experiences, to organise meetings with different social players. The 2021 show was managed with a hybrid formula where, in addition to the speakers, the audience at the Bocconi attended in limited numbers. All the events were live-streamed.
Here are some numbers: 231 organisations, 100 events (available on the Salone YouTube channel), 375 speakers, 1,500 people in two days, more than 14,000 remote connections, 874 media items, 15 stages of the CSR Giro d’Italia, 1 publication from the Egea publishing house, 131 projects in the CSR Gallery digital exhibition.
The exhibition had a significant presence on the web: through the website www.csreinnovazionesociale.it; the weekly newsletter sent to more than 11,000 readers; Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn profiles as well as the YouTube channel.
The CSR tradeshow has had ISO 20121 certification since 2015; Bureau Veritas Italia has certified the last six editions as a “Sustainable event” in the development and management stages.
THE 2022 EDITION
The title of the 10th CSR tradeshow is Connessioni sostenibili [Sustainable Connections]. In the transition towards sustainable development, coordination of the strategies and activities of the various social players needs to be improved, moving well beyond simple collaboration. Finding effective solutions to social and environmental problems is not easy: in an ever more interconnected world, a multistakeholder, multidisciplinary approach is best, where everyone’s skills and resources are pooled.
