Think / Strive / ACHIEVE
The ever increasing competition between businesses of all disciplines has driven the develop-
ment and advancement of productivity and profits at an exponential pace. However, in our
race to success, it’s all too easy to forget the foundations of a successful business.
Corporate values are often overlooked in exchange for a chance to increase the bottom-line,
however, it is these values that have built up the success and reputation of the corporation
over the years. These values should guide every decision made by businesses, small and large,
as they are essential in maintaining the past success businesses have enjoyed and the overall
economic stability.
This year, ACHIEVE is all about Ethical Business and Decision Making. Delegates will be ex-
posed to these topics by our Partners:
Corporate Social Responsibility
Corporate Governance
Triple Bottom Line
