International CSR Experts and SRI Fund Managers Gather in Malaysia

The International Corporate Social Responsibility Conference 2008 will be the meeting place of local and international companies, non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and fund managers.

Jointly organised by EU-Malaysia Chamber of Commerce and Industry (EUMCCI), OWW Consulting and RUSS Consulting, the conference promises to go further than any CSR conference previously held in Malaysia.

So far, some of the World’s leading fund managers, representing Assets-Under-Management worth around US$400 billion (RM1.3 trillion) will be attending.
