#WhyCSR at Sustainable Brands: Proof Points for Corporate Social Responsibility

This week at the Sustainable Brands in San Diego, companies from all over the country gathered to talk about CSR. The conference was filled with leaders from some of the most respected companies in the world, a slew of socially conscious start-ups and representatives from NGOs working throughout the globe. As CSR professionals, this is one of the few conferences in which people don't spend any time explaining CSR to other attendees – it's understood, it's embraced and it's celebrated at Sustainable Brands.

That being said, sometimes it's important to take a step back and ask the most basic question: Why is CSR important? Cone created a social media discussion using the hashtag #WhyCSR to prompt this question throughout the week, and below we've listed some of our favorite Tweets. To learn more about the discussion, you can watch this quick video interview at Sustainable Brands with Cone's Whitney Dailey.
