The purpose of this meeting was to explore the current context for corporate social responsibility in Egypt and identify main focus areas – within the business and in the communities they are supporting. The aim was to uncover opportunities and identify challenges for more collaboration between CSR practitioners and their projects and to share and learn from each other’s work.
The flow of the day is outlined in the picture below and the harvest is attached.
The morning world cafe conversation highlighted the following three priorities for CSR in Egypt:
1) integrating CSR into the core strategy of their business
2) find new ways of engaging with diverse stakeholders
3) increase knowledge sharing and research on CSR
