[Accident] '2020 Asia Value-Up Symposium' to be Held for the First Time on the 22nd of This Month

Asia Economy will hold the '2020 Asia Value-Up Symposium' on the 22nd. The first symposium, held under the theme of 'With Corona, CSR in the New Normal Era,' aims to explore the direction of corporate social responsibility (CSR) suitable for a new era that cannot return to the pre-COVID-19 outbreak period.

Global companies such as Google, Amazon, and Microsoft (MS) have already begun to unprecedentedly expand their CSR efforts and invest massive capital to help overcome the social crisis caused by COVID-19. Global scholars agree that the pandemic marks the beginning of a new management environment (New Normal) era for companies, requiring new strategies that break away from traditional management methods and align with the changing paradigms of the post-COVID era. It is now time for Korean companies to redefine the concept of CSR from the ground up in response to the COVID-19 era and become agents that pioneer the path forward together with members of society.

This symposium will be a meaningful occasion to discuss CSR activity strategies in the COVID-19 era from a macro perspective, including direct and indirect corporate donations, public policy formulation, planning of social contribution programs, and even the grand discourse of creating shared value, together with experts from various fields.

In compliance with government COVID-19 event operation guidelines, the event will be operated with designated seating for pre-registered attendees only, with seats arranged at 2-meter intervals. If social distancing is raised to level 3, the event will be held as a no-audience online live broadcast.
