The Forum for Corporate Conscience
Launched by CEOs in 2003, The Forum for Corporate Conscience engaged corporate leaders at the highest level in an unprecedented convening that examined the issues of responsibility, ethics and sustainability. What began as a one-time event evolved into a unique, yearlong process that successfully challenged those participating to integrate sustainability into their corporate culture.
From 2003-2004, The Forum for Corporate Conscience provided unique and interactive programming that took corporate leaders through a process of change. Initiatives included an Inaugural CEO Forum and follow-up survey, and a senior level Forum in Action Workshop. While the Forum is no longer an active program, tenets of corporate responsibility can be seen through the work of various corporations that participated in its initiatives. Organizers are responding to requests for future Forum activities on a case-by-case basis.
