Corporate Responsibility for Good

Have you ever wondered how Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) works in Ireland today and what big tech companies are doing? Are you interested in the role of community projects, or how the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are changing the face of CSR? Tech for Good Dublin has gathered together experts in the field to share their own thoughts (good and bad), and their visions for the future of what CSR could potentially become.
