THE 11TH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY, ETHICS AND SUSTAINABLE BUSINESS (ICSR)

PUTRAJAYA, 5-7 SEPTEMBER 2024

Local Solutions to Global Challenges: Communicating Sustainability Initiatives to Diverse Communities

ICSR 2024

The School of Communication takes pride in being the first university outside Europe to host and organize the 11th International Conference on Social Responsibility, Ethics, and Sustainable Business (ICSR).

Chairs by ICSR founder & co-founder Associate Professor Dr. Georgiana Grigore, University of Leicester, UK and Professor Dr. Alin Stancu, Bucharest University of Economic Studies, Romania.

We warmly welcome all participants, offering a unique opportunity to connect and expand academic and industry networks. This conference provides a platform for sharing knowledge with a global audience united under the overarching umbrella of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), specifically focusing on social responsibility, ethics, and sustainable business. Serving as a crucible for scholarly dialogue and practical insights, the conference aims to bridge the gap between sustainability and the diverse local and global communities. In an era marked by global challenges, the pursuit of sustainable practices has become imperative. The theme underscores the urgent need for communication strategies that effectively engage local communities while simultaneously addressing the global sustainability challenges we face. Effective communication of sustainability initiatives requires resonance with diverse communities' cultural, social, and economic nuances, fostering engagement and collaboration in global sustainability endeavours.

We invite participants to explore, discuss, and disseminate new theoretical perspectives, innovative approaches, best practices, and case studies. Our focus is on highlighting the pivotal role of communication in sustainability within the context of diverse global communication and communities.
