CIPR launches Corporate Responsibility network

The Chartered Institute of Public Relations (CIPR) has today announced the launch of a Corporate Responsibility network for members.

The network will provide a valuable forum for those involved in communicating corporate responsibility and sustainability issues, across sectors and disciplines.

The launch event, which is free to attend for CIPR members and non-members, will take place on the evening of Wednesday 6 November at the CIPR’s Public Relations Centre in Russell Square, London.

Samantha Wilding MCIPR, Director of Sustainability at Corporate Culture
I’m very excited about the launch of this new network. There aren’t many fora for those of us specialising in corporate responsibility and sustainability communications, but as the Chartered body for PR professionals, the CIPR is a natural fit.
Samantha Wilding MCIPR, Director of Sustainability at Corporate Culture

The event will focus on the importance of integrating public relations and corporate responsibility and represents a fantastic networking opportunity for professionals operating within these industries.

Samantha will be joined by past CIPR President, Sally Sykes FCIPR.

Places for this event can be booked online or for further information contact CIPR Sector Group Development Officer, Koray Camgoz.
