Corporate social responsibility in times of conflict: ethical dilemmas for business

Teachers of the services management department took part in the presentation of the training course for higher education "Corporate social responsibility in times of conflict: ethical dilemmas for business."

Unfortunately, last year Ukraine joined the list of countries where there are armed conflicts. In 2014, the number of armed conflicts and wars was 11, compared with four in 2010. The report, entitled "Pessimistic guide to the world in 2015," the news agency Bloomberg said at least about 16 countries and regions, where probably in an armed conflict.

Conflicts affect people, regions, and countries, including the country's development and business. The latter has to work in the new environment, and should be prepared. There are over 20 ethical and business challenges.

Center "CSR Development " is confident that the business will be able to anticipate situations and meet the challenges of conflict times, if: a) aware of the challenges; b) know about the practices of other companies; c) implement important CSR policies in their activities. It is therefore necessary to include the study of the subject "CSR in times of conflict: ethical dilemmas for business" in the academic and business courses.

Speakers:

Marina Saprykina, director of the Center "CSR Development";
Vasil Hubarets, Head of External Relations and Relations with communities JTI Ukraine;
Ilya Strelnikov, coordinator of the "Humanitarian mail of Ukraine" (Nova Poshta)
Daniel Lavrenov, head of the PR of "Energoatom"
