When Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24, 2022, it plunged the region into war, setting off a humanitarian crisis and disrupting key supply chains in energy, food, and other commodities that directly led to high inflation and a global economic slowdown. It has also had a significant – and potentially long-lasting impact – on how companies approach corporate citizenship on a global scale. Please join us as we look at:

• How companies are continuing to respond to the crisis in Ukraine, offering humanitarian aid and donating to relief organizations, matching donations, halting product sales in Russia, establishing employee-relief funds, and more.
• Lessons learned in responding to the war over time, such as approaches to engaging senior management and employees and communicating with a variety of stakeholders.
• Keys to effective partnerships, how companies can collaborate with other firms in their region, industry, or supply chain to amplify their impact.
• How the war will impact the corporate citizenship function in 2023 and beyond, and what corporate citizenship executives need to do to prepare now.

The webcast will build on the work of The Conference Board over the past year, in which it has published a series of essays on the implications of the Ukraine conflict for corporate citizenship. These have addressed: how the corporate citizenship response to war is different from, and similar to, a natural disaster, how companies can help with refugees and with those displaced within Ukraine, and how the war highlights the importance of corporate citizenship leaders in taking a global and long-term approach to their humanitarian efforts.

Who should attend:
Senior-level executives in corporate citizenship, corporate social responsibility, philanthropy, sustainability, human resources, communications, government relations, strategic planning, and governance.
