Welcome to the website of the First International Symposium on Corporate Responsibility and Sustainable Development. The Symposium will be hosted by London Metropolitan University Business School, London, from April 19 to 20, 2011. The theme is Global Challenges for Sustainability and Equity. We encourage interdisciplinary contributions that focus both on single issues whether social, environmental, economic or technological, as well as contributions that focus on the challenges and opportunities where these streams seem to merge. We seek to develop nuanced knowledge and locally relevant practice. Such ambition requires perspectives that are critical, situated in the context of an evolving global dynamic.
