"EthicScan's research provided us with a clear understanding of key corporate responsibility standards across different industry sectors. They also helped us understand which areas were most relevant, given our priorities and considerations, and their depth of knowledge and range of experience added very valuable perspectives."

Professor Ken Wyman CFRE, CoordinatorFundraising Management Graduate Program, Humber College

EthicScan presentations always amaze the graduate students in the Fundraising Management program at Humber. The range of ethical criteria EthicScan examines is eye-opening, the detailed research is jaw-dropping, the problems in corporate ethics revealed are hair-raising, and the quality of the training sessions is mind-expanding.

Daniel J. Melanson, PresidentGreater Sudbury Taxpayers Association

Mr Nitkin was our guest speaker Last September at the Greater Sudbury Taxpayers Association`s fund raiser. Mr Nitkin spoke on “Ethics in Municipal Government”. Mr Nitkin is both knowledgeable and passionate about ethical practices in the public and private sectors and his speech was both enlightening and entertaining. Comments from all who attended were very positive, and in fact we even had one person travel from southern Ontario to attend when he heard that Mr Nitkin would be speaking at our event. We look forward to hosting him again in the near future.

Peter Earle, PrincipalEarle Group - Public and Government Affairs

Through David's vision and fundamental personal values, Ethicscan was created an organization ahead of its time.Ethicscan has come to be synonymous with such terms as transparency, credibility and integrity. Ethicscan is a partner any organization can truly rely on to help set the compass, and to maintain a true heading through any weather."

Upmanship: The New Science of CSR

Mon, 22 Sep 2014 15:17:49 +0000

What evidence exists that responsibility can be designed and delivered? Can certain tools or strategies realize returns and rewards by design? Corporations are under great stress to “up” their reputation and demonstrate that they are leading in corporate responsibility. They face external demands such as “giving back”, transparency, probity, and accountability. What strategies exist to meet calls for responsibility coming from staff, investors, clients, host communities, supply chain partners, and regulators. What techniques will empower staff to take pride in their jobs, contribute to social goals, and enhance the company’s reputation? What tools will allow management to warrantee reduced risk, enhance profitability, and demonstrate leadership?

This four day course explores dozens of vital answers to these questions.
Participants will debate, share insight into, and discuss relevant knowledge about three major challenges:
1. Measuring What Matters
2. Enhancing Multi-Stakeholder Engagement
3. Embedding Upmanship By Design
This results-based conference is designed by and for experienced practitioners. Most of the “faculty” are selected by invitation, and haven’t paid to participate or play.

June 1-5, 2015 is the sixth time EthicScan’s CSR conference has been offered in Canada over the last twenty years.
You can participate for two days in Toronto (Mon June 1-Tues June 2) or two days in Calgary (Thurs June 4- Fri June 5).
There will be special workshops and course on the Wed June 3.

Benefits of Registration
1. Exposure to leading actors in community relations, sustainability, reporting and integrity.
2. High amounts of opportunity to networking as attendees participate in pre-selected “practitioner subject matter tracks”.
3. Registration includes two days of participation, the right to access all presentations and recordings in Toronto (June 1-2) and Calgary (June 4-5), and the right to purchase discounted tickets for co-workers.

Who Will Be Participating
This multi–day CSR-specific conference program is targeted to practitioners, largely from the corporate community.
The speeches, workshops, panels and days end facilitation sessions are not CSR level 101.
The participants will include 30 community engagement/program specialists, 30 sustainability professionals, 20 integrity/compliance specialists, and 20 reporting professionals.
The course should appeal to heads of community relations, sustainability, engagement, public affairs, accountability reporting, compliance, supply chain management, responsible procurement, partnerships, and media relations.

Sponsorships
You do not need to be a sponsor or partner to appear as a speaker.
Those who do want to promote certain corporate initiatives or accomplishments, an outline of opportunities is provided.

What is Different About This Program?
To enhance networking and relevancy, participants will pre-register for and participate within one of four “practitioner tracks”.
There will be challenging workshop sessions with CSR-committed, university business school students discussing their workplace expectations.
A day’s end summarizer will uniquely offer observations on what was said and not said.
