Projects • Conferences Economics of Corporate Sustainability Management Conferences that could be of interest   Partnerships for Sustainable Development 12th International Conference of the Greening of Industry Network Hong Kong, November 7-10, 2004 Organized by: Corporate Environmental Governance Programme, HKU Venue: Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre If we are to move towards creating societies based on principles of sustainable development, then business, government, and civil society are going to have to play roles in that process. However, acting alone they are likely to achieve considerably less than working in cooperation, providing collaborative leadership. Collaboration and partnerships between businesses and other actors are going to be crucial in promoting economic, environmental, and social improvements that contribute to sustainable development. Much of this change calls for new thinking on the part of business and other actors. It requires all sectors of our societies to pay greater attention to sustainable development in a world of globalisation even though some governments often ignore their own responsibilities. In many ways we should expect business to take the lead and help to facilitate productive partnerships. How is this best achieved? http://web.hku.hk/~gin2004/ http://gin.confex.com/gin/2004/ The Interdisciplinary CSR Research Conference, University of Nottingham, 22-23 October. This conference brings together academic research from a variety of disciplines to enable better insights into explanations, applications and the value of CSR. The conference is the Third Annual ICCSR symposium, following the 2003 event, Stakeholder Democracy, which enabled preliminary exploration of different disciplinary conceptualisation of CSR. The conference is also a follow up to the 2003 International CSR research conference, Managing on the Edge, University of Nijmegen. The conference consists of focused research workshops comprising high quality refereed papers that are convened by leading researchers in their fields. Several editors, guest editors, and journal board members are hosting workshops with a view to publishing future special issues (e.g. Accounting, Auditing and Accountability, Business Strategy & the Environment, Journal of Corporate Citizenship, Journal of Productivity Analysis, Corporate Governance: An International Review, Journal of Strategic Marketing). The conference is organised by the staff of the International Centre for Corporate Social Responsibility; Wendy Chapple, Andy Crane, Dirk Matten, Jeremy Moon, and Dave Owen. It is supported by an International Conference Committee of Jem Bendell, David Birch, Andre Habisch, Jan Jonker, Malcolm McIntosh, Abby McWilliams and Don Siegel. Abstracts (1000 words) should be submitted through workshop convenors by 1st May 2004. http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/business/ICCSR/conference/ See special stream on Corporate Environmental Management and industrial Ecology lead by Professor Jouni Korhonen Corporate Environmental Management and Industrial Ecology Corporate Social Responsibility: Thought and Practice Venue: Glamorgan Business Centre, University of Glamorgan. Date: 23rd and 24th September 2004. The aim of the conference: “To provide a forum for academic and practitioner debate over the nature and future of Corporate Social Responsibility.” This major conference is deliberately configured to bring together academics, managers and policy makers who have an interest in, or wish to discuss corporate social responsibility. Contributions are encouraged from all communities of interest or practice and are welcomed from all academic disciplines. Your perspective may be international, national or local. The conference aims to overtly reflect the multi disciplinary nature of corporate social responsibility. http://www.glam.ac.uk/bus/CSR/ Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management Conference 2004 Jubilee Campus, University of Nottingham, UK 28-29 June 2004 This conference provides a forum for the dissemination of research findings, best practice and case studies associated with the development of Corporate Social Responsibility in business including the implementation of Corporate Environmental Management tools. Both elements contribute to business strategies consistent with sustainable development. The conference wishes to encourage practical and theoretical papers and is a forum for debate and discussion. A mixture of both research-oriented and practitioner papers are encouraged to provide a high quality exchange of ideas and experiences. We also encourage suggestions for workshop sessions providing delegates with an opportunity to learn about recent developments in the field and to engage in debate and discussion about various tools and approaches. The conference, aimed at a range of academics, practitioners, researchers and other business stakeholders, will bring together an international, interdisciplinary audience in order to share knowledge and experience. Papers are invited on any of the key themes listed below and an abstract of around 200 words, including title and outline content, should be sent to the conference organiser. These are normally presented in a thirty minute period allowing at least 10 minutes for debate and discussion. Practical workshops (of approximately one hour in duration) are also invited and a similar outline should be provided. Papers presented will be published in conference proceedings and distributed at the conference. If accepted, papers for the proceedings must be submitted by 14 May 2004. Papers may also subsequently be considered for publication in any one of three refereed journals: Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, Sustainable Development or Business Strategy and the Environment. http://www.erpenvironment.org/ International Sustainable Development Research Conference 2004 including sessions on Evolutions in Environmental Policy and Governance Hulme Hall, University of Manchester UK 29-30 March, 2004 ERP Environment, publishers of the international journal Sustainable Development are pleased to announce this tenth annual conference. Individual paper contributions are listed overleaf and the conference includes the paper streams detailed below. The challenge of sustainable development requires everybody and every institution to evaluate its long term strategy and to consider how best we can move the planet away from its unsustainable track. Governments, regulators, policy makers, NGOs, business and individuals must seek to address these challenges in the twenty-first century. The conference seeks to bring together an international interdisciplinary audience to begin to tackle many of the issues connected with sustainable development – to share experiences and to begin to work towards solutions. By building informal partnerships and in offering opportunities to share ideas this conference seeks to move this complex debate forward. http://www.erpenvironment.org/ 7th annual conference of the Environmental Management Accounting Network Europe(EMAN-EU) Sustainability Accounting and Reporting University of Lueneburg, Germany (Thursday 4th and Friday 5th of March 2004) The Environmental Management Accounting Network - Europe (EMAN-EU) will hold its seventh annual conference on Thursday 4 and Friday 5 March 2004 at the Centre for Sustainability Management (CSM), University of Lueneburg, Germany. Accounting for corporate sustainability and the reporting of the contributions of companies and other non-corporate organisations to sustainable development are among the most important emerging issues in corporate accounting. This challenges management to develop and implement accounting, information management and reporting tools and procedures in order to compute and communicate the organisation's sustainability performance.
