This masterclass is based on the premise that companies that do not have an overt social purpose will not be able to survive in the long term. As stakeholders increasingly expect businesses to do more than simply provide returns to shareholders, they will increasingly have to look at ways to contribute to social and environmental innovations that contribute to societal well-being.

The class will focus on the innovations that companies need to put in place to address social and environmental challenges at scale. There will be case studies of companies that have created social innovations that have enhanced their competitiveness and financial performance.

Richard WELFORD is Chairman of CSR Asia, a consultancy and think-tank that he founded, currently with offices across the Asia-Pacific region and known for its pioneering work around corporate social responsibility (CSR) and sustainability.

Richard is currently an adjunct Professor at the University of Technology, Sydney. He has many years of experience in academia, pioneering courses, and programs covering a range of issues including shared value, inclusive business, private sector engagement, supply chain risks, human rights and community investment.

Richard is the author of 15 books and numerous refereed articles in the fields of environmental management and sustainable development. He is also the editor of 3 internationally recognized academic journals, developing and promoting research around business and sustainable development.
