Driving the adoption of stable
CSR practices is essential to
the sustainable development
of West Africa. Whilst we have
seen positive growth in social investment, efforts still
need to be made to develop guidelines, strategy and
government direction for corporates to implement a
sustainability framework that compliments their
local communities and is aligned with business
objectives.
CSR West Africa summit will gather together
government, policy makers, corporates, international
organisations, NGOs and social enterprises to
examine the sustainability landscape, share
experiences and insight with international
organisations, and develop and action plan to push
CSR forward.
