While the conference > > was a success, the WBI feels that more attention should be paid to what > > young people have to say.

This survey is the first step of the > > initiative. The purpose of the survey is to identify specific topics > > about CSR that are perceived important by young people. Once key issues > > become clear through the results of this survey, the WBI will facilitate > > e-conferences on the respective topics.
