4. AFCSR’s position strongly
in a niche market opportunity
 AFCSR is the leading regional
conference on CSR in Asia
 It’s the longest running CSR conference in
Asia- 10 years!

5a. CSR is a growing need for
companies

is a key differentiating component of business strategy.
 According to the Boston College survey, corporate citizenship
leaders spend most of their time building relationships
inside and outside of the company, about 85% of the time
all told. As this is a relatively new development, the vast majority
of them stated that they had backgrounds in other fields other than
CSR or corporate citizenship: 93% to be exact. Nevertheless,
almost 70% have taken steps to educate themselves in this field,
with about 20% stating they completed a certification program.

Americas.

500 delegates 30 breakout sessions and more than 50 expo booths,
it also has the Intel Award, and the RVR Award on CSR
3. Since 2002, the AFCSR has been growing, from an initial participant
of 200 mostly local (Philippines) it has now grown into 500 yearly
participants from all over the world. It has also created strategic
partnerships with multinational companies, and CSR advocacy
groups.

5c. Estimate the market size
using customer data
Item 2002 2003200420052006200720082009
Number of
delegates 388 308 283 418 528 550 473 494

Based from the number of award entries, there is a
growing number of companies that have been participating
in CSR conferences and there is an increase in the number
of CSR programs being implemented.

5d. CSR conference:
Based from the number of delegates and participants, from competitor and own
data, there is an increase in companies and individuals that have begun to advocate
CSR as a business strategy.
Aside from this, there is a growing number of academic institutions that have also
integrated CSR into their core curriculum, a good example is AGSB, with its Mulat
Diwa. International academic institutions have also begun offering CSR course.
Finally, based from internet research on CSR, two to three years ago, there was a
scarce number of written articles on CSR. Today, there is a plethora of literature on
the said topic. It is difficult to provide a best estimate of the actual market size, but
a good number is the Philippine Stock Exchange where majority of companies listed
have their own CSR program being implemented and developed.
