World Cup and CSR/Community investment initiatives?

[John Kim]

I would be very curious to get this group's perspective and expertise on any CSR initiatives happening in South Africa around the 2010 FIFA World Cup that is now less than one full year away.

For further information check out my blog http://WorldCupCSR.wordpress.com
In particular I would love to brainstorm about potential CSR initiatives that sponsors could do that would align with their brand. See post here: http://worldcupcsr.wordpress.com/2009/05/30/ideas-for-what-top-fifa...

I look forward to hearing from the group!

Hi, I was just watching the Live Web Feed of the event in London on "Getting results from engagement: how should government and business work together to enhance the investment climate and business-driven development?" and someone asked a question about opportunities for engaging productively during the World Cup--so thought you'd be interested in seeing what he said. It's at the end, when there's a Q and A session. They had live question feeds coming in from online viewers too!
