SURVIVE OR SUCCEED?

In the competitive business arena, companies do what they can to survive. They try to make ends meet, meet goal after goal – but what does it really take to succeed?

Sustainability has always been considered to be a part of a company’s Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), but in today’s business landscape, the Darwinian Theory evidently holds true – implementing sustainable practices is needed to gain a competitive edge and stay ahead! It can no longer be denied that among several success factors in such a globalized economy, mainstreaming sustainable practices in businesses stands prominent in order to harness long-term results.

Sustainability has evolved to become the crucial element to determine if a company is merely surviving or if it is succeeding.

HIGHLIGHTS

ECC International – through its learning solutions arm, Apex Global – is proud to present the 2013 ASEAN Corporate Sustainability Summit, which aims to discuss the importance of integrating sustainable practices in business through its theme: “Shifting Gears. Mainstreaming Sustainability.”

for Value Creation

Session 2Small, but mighty firms! Why size doesn’t matter

Small and medium-size enterprises (SME) can, and often do, embrace

sustainability as part of their business operations even

and influence stronger. This session will highlight how

small, innovative companies are developing sustainable

products and business models.

Speaker:

media as a driving force in sustainability

impressions into positive ones.
