Conference on Corporate Accountability: Analysis and Evaluation
28th and 29th of November 2005
Berlin, Germany
Co-organised by terre des hommes, Global Policy Forum Europe, DGB Bildungswerk and weed.

Over the last few years, numerous conferences, studies, political initiatives and international campaigns have taken up the topic of corporate social responsibility and the rights and duties of multinational companies. This energy has now begun to dissipate, as attempts to establish binding rules for multinationals have suffered set-backs. Increasingly, governments and international organizations concentrate instead on emphasizing the positive contribution the business world can make towards solving global problems ranging from violent conflicts to the realization of the Millennium Development Goals.
