2012 Global Corporate Citizenship Conference: CSR: Business Solutions for Emerging Markets

International community engagement strategies have grown to be more than corporate philanthropy practices; they are tools to ensuring a ripe, healthy economy for businesses to grow and create jobs in local markets. Issues such as literacy, nutrition, water quality, gender equality, youth employment, disease, and pollution are not just social challenges, they profoundly affect the business value chain. As companies cultivate business opportunities in emerging markets and encounter these challenges, they are developing strategies and innovations that are improving economic, environmental, and community conditions.
