Visions and partnerships practices of the Instituto
Ethos for a sustainable society
In this Plenary Session we will look back upon the major aspects
that have helped advance the movement in Brazil and debate
the dilemmas, challenges and opportunities to expand networks
and partnerships and deepen the practices of corporate social
responsibility, and how these practices contribute towards
sustainability

Roundtable 2
Partnerships development for natural resources management
The management of natural resources needs to rest upon the
development of an efficient network of partnerships to promote
dialogue and take into consideration the wishes of all stakeholders.
In this Round Table we will debate the case of the Nascentes
do Xingu (headwaters of the Xingu River), which points the
way forward on a promising path where companies and civil
society organizations managed to build a consistent partnership
favoring environmental sustainability. How far can this model
be re-applied to other situations? What is the learning process,
how can challenges be faced, how does one attract partners
and coordinate among them to seek solutions that benefit all
those involved?
From 1:30 PM to 3:00 PM
Lunch and networking
From 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM

situation and discuss Brazilian initiatives to build a pact
to combat slave labor.

Challenges to establishing new standards for sustainable

discuss the challenges, dilemmas and initiatives to establishing
a sustainable pattern of consumption.
Panel Brazil 2
Strategic Management and Marketing and Communications
Management
What dilemmas do firms face in the strategic implementation
of social responsibility for sustainable development? How
can marketing and communication help disseminate the organization’s
values to all audiences impacted by its activities, and deeply
root those values in them? These issues, and other that are
so much a part of day to day activities of companies committed
to socially responsible management, will be put forward and
debated in this Panel, as a means of helping participants
overcome these challenges in their own organizations.

synergy between the stakeholders, through partnership and
cooperation among companies, government authorities and social
agents.
Thematic panel 8
Cooperation between socially responsible companies
and solidary economy initiatives
The social and economic scope of these partnerships and the

in corporate cooperation in the field of the solidary economy.
Panel Brazil 3
Social responsibility management in the business chain:
suppliers and clients
The promotion of social responsibility in the business chain
means setting up value relationships with suppliers and customers.
It may look easy but they are two strategic sectors in the
success and sustainability of business, and companies face
countless challenges in dealing with them. The aim of this
Panel is to understand, debate and reflect collectively upon
the array of issues involving the long-term creation of these
relationships.
