WELCOME TO CSR SUMMIT 2014!
This CSR Summit is a 10 year success story between us.
We have accomplished so much with 'you'; the achievements now speak for themselves. On a geographical level, our conference is now regional with conferences held in Doha and Jeddah in 2013. From an achievement perspective, the summit has fostered award winning entrepreneurial initiatives, successful partnerships, gained SROI (social ROI certification) for SME establishments and much more – all under one 'sustainable' roof!
In addition to a focused portfolio we have also gained a 'certified' status for our workshop where corporates, institutions and entrepreneurs engage in fostering alliances to enhance the business model. They focus on:
Employment creation via community engagement
Cascading knowledge via corporate and institutional partnerships
Empowering the next generation via SME and Entrepreneurship
Every year this flagship gathering of CSR professionals is preceded by PR campaigns, blogs, tweets, press releases and live media coverage!

Accounting for Value: Measuring & Understanding your return on Social
Investment
Creating welfare for our societies is what every company should exist for. But do we understand how to grasp the value
that is created away from revenues and profits? Are financial statements enough to understand the creation or destruction
of the broader value? The Social Return On Investment (SROI) is the application of a set of principles within a framework
that is designed to help bring this understanding of whether your company creates or destroys value – whilst at the same
time recognising that what is of value will be very different in a specific country, corporate or cultures.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
• Understand the purpose of SROI and what it brings to your company
• Apply the 7 Principles and know how to navigate an Impact Map
• Step-by-Step calculations through a concrete case: Palestyle
• Ability to tell a better story to partners and investors
