Ryerson CSR Institute Talk: Business Use of Regulations to Create & Protect Markets
The Ryerson University Institute for the Study of Corporate Social Responsibility, with co-sponsors the Ryerson Commerce and Government Association (RCGA), the Ryerson CSR Student Association (Ryerson CSRSA), the Ryerson Law Centre, and the Department of Law and Business in Ryerson University's Ted Rogers School of Management, pleased to present "Business Use of Regulations to Create & Protect Markets," the fourth in a five part series of talks by Business/Politics Insider Hershell Ezrin.
In an era of diminishing public resources and investment, corporations and associations have turned to regulation to protect and promote their market shares and profitability or advance their interests. Special interest groups in turn have developed unique tactics and strategies to combat these approaches. The net result is a very different public policy environment. Learn more about what the stubby brown beer bottle, Sunday shopping, and historic building designation all have in common.

This event is co-sponsored by the Ryerson Coroporate Social Responsibility Association, the Ryerson Commerce and Government Association, the Ryerson Law Centre, and the Department of Law and Business in Ryerson University's Ted Rogers School of Management.

CSR & Labour in Developing Countries: ILO’s Better Work Programme as New Governance Form
Speaker: Dr. Kelly Pike
Research on the complexity of global value chains indicates that it is becoming increasingly difficult to monitor compliance with labour standards. Embracing the complexities that underlie global production systems, the ILO’s Better Work Programme (part of the Social Dialogue Sector) has emerged as a leader in the field of social regulation.
This talk traces the evolution of attempts at labour standards enforcement through means of national law and labour codes, international core labour standards, buyer codes of conduct, and the recent rollout of Better Work.
This event is co-sponsored by the Ryerson Law Research Centre, the Ryerson Centre for Labour Management Relations, the Ryerson Commerce and Government Association (RCGA), the Ryerson MBA CSR Student Committee and the Ryerson Bachelor of Commerce Corporate Social Responsibility Students Association (CSRSA).
