Miniconference: Corporate Social Activism

From taking responsibility to taking a stand

Corporate social activism is on the rise. What are the faces of corporate social activism? Why should companies go from being responsible to taking a stand? Is there a limit as to how far a company can go? And what should companies be aware of if they want to use their business as an activist force for good?

At our mini conference we got how-to insights and inspiration from:

  • The international social business expert who provides an overview of global trends and cases on corporate social activism (Tania Ellis, Special Advisor & Founder, The Social Business Company)
  • The retail giant that applies choice editing and controversial communication to inform and engage its consumers in sustainable consumption (Thomas Roland, CSR Manager, COOP Danmark)
  • The low-cost telecommunications company that initiated a national social movement by changing the company from within (Hanne Lindblad, former CEO and Anja Enggaard former Marketing Manager, Call me)
  • The world’s first ethical prison labour company that uses its business to take a stand on poverty and women’s rights (Veronica D’Souza, CEO & Founder, CARCEL)

Throughout the programme we discussed, networked and exchanged experiences and thoughts on why, if and how companies can become activists for social change.
