    We are excited to once again “host the conversation” about the role and opportunity for corporations to have a positive impact on the most pressing social issues of our time. Public-private partnerships have gone well past the days of pure philanthropy to a more strategic dialogue on how to collaborate to address poverty, illiteracy, equality, and human suffering.

    Companies are also becoming more active in their support for environmental causes than some of the government functionalities of the world’s top countries.

    We have partnered with top nonprofit and NGO groups for this event, including the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), Future 500 and the Council for Encouraging Corporate Philanthropy. We thank them for their ongoing support and involvement. We celebrate innovation with our Big Idea Lightning Round formats. We recognize the importance of leadership and vision once again honoring top CEOs in our Corporate Responsibility Magazine Responsible CEO of the Year reception and awards dinner.

    And we celebrate the power of coming together as a community to have dialogue, debate, and camaraderie. COMMIT! Forum continues to be one of the top global conferences on corporate responsibility and, as such, is an excellent place for CR professionals, media, foundations, and NGOs to network and prioritize their agenda and have fun while learning from the top thought leaders today.

    “We hope you enjoy the event as much as we enjoy hosting you and have a positive impact on the world we all share,” said Elliot H. Clark, CEO of SharedXpertise, and publishers of Corporate Responsibility Magazine.

    The World Liberty TV Team was on hand to cover this two day conference, listening to and interviewing some of the best companies who engage in Corporate Responsibility.
