Changing Mindsets Within the Boardroom

The American-Hellenic Chamber of Commerce, in conjunction with its Corporate Social Responsibility Committee, held its 13^th annual Corporate Social Responsibility conference, CHANGING MINDSETS WITHIN THE BOARDROOM: FOSTERING A CULTURE OF CORPORATE SUSTAINABILITY, on October 26, 2015 at the Athens Ledra Hotel.

Today, companies are challenged to focus on growth, provide a more holistic workplace, and respond to new, difficult issues, including environmental risks, community development, and long-term thinking.  The conference, attended by 250 delegates, provided a platform for delegates to join the discussion on how forward-thinking boards understand the importance of fostering a culture of corporate sustainability to lead to a more sustainable future

Our successful innovation, the CSR Marketplace showcased best practices, encouraged more interaction, dialogue, and sharing among conference participants. The exhibitors included: AbbVie, Athens International Airport, Diageo, EY, Hellenic Petroleum, Interamerican, Vodafone, Elliniki Etairia, Salvation Army, Shedia.
