How CSR Drives Counsel and Vendor Engagement

Enter Session
Overview

CSR is not a nice to have but a must-have for some organizations. Brand owners not only have to meet the expectations of their consumers but also understand their obligations to their communities and the planet. Legal practitioners are not exempt from embracing and demonstrating their own CSR initiatives and values. Join the discussion with Kristin McNulty, Intel Corporation, and Peter Dernbach, Winkler Partners, as they share their own CSR journeys and discuss how diversity and inclusion and CSR initiatives are big part of the decision-making process when engaging law firms and vendors.
