The Sixth Corporate Social Responsibility Essay Competition, organized by the Center for International Business Ethics (CIBE) and co organized by the Collegiate Social Responsibility Association at UIBE, has its papers’ submission deadline on March 30. The essay competition is opened for all university students. As the next generation of leaders, these students need confidence and skills to engage the social challenges that lay ahead.
