10-13 June 2015, Rixos, Eskisehir, Turkey
ConclusionSource of problems has not been tackled:
• Oil is the biggest threat• Oil represents 60% of
Ecuador’s exports• Oil companies have
implemented CSR strategies without success
10-13 June 2015, Rixos, Eskisehir, Turkey
Conclusion
Resource Dependence
Theory
Business-NPOs
partnerships
NPOs as intermediaries(trusted mostly by ind. Com.)
Holistic Approach
New models of operation needed, since the region has a unique ecosystem where first inhabitants still live in.
•Society•Government•Companies
•To promote international environmental and social standards and good practices
•Defining the areas in need and operating together to make a sustainable change
•To gain better sustainable solutions while using resources together and reducing constraints 10-13 June 2015, Rixos, Eskisehir, Turkey
