An informal breakfast with Bennett Freeman of the Calvert Group, and leaders in local business, government and education to discuss questions of social responsibility in business and government. How can the State of Wisconsin ensure a socially responsible return on its investments?  What is the role of government in supporting companies that go beyond the regulatory minimum and in fostering socially responsible innovations? What opportunities and challenges does such an approach open up for firms? Can states use corporate social responsibility to attract firms in an era of stiff competition?

This breakfast provided an opportunity to discuss these and other issues with an expert who has served in government, engaged with consequential industries, and knows the markets.
