HP's CSR Chair at Schulich School of Business

In October 2003, HP Canada announced the establishment of a $2 million endowment to fund a Chair in CSR at the Schulich School of Business at York University. The creation of this Chair is the result of more than 10 years of academic leadership by Schulich in CSR. The Chair will extend Schulich's impact across the globe, playing a pivotal role in defining emerging corporate social responsibility issues, conducting research, teaching CSR-related courses and engaging in community outreach. A key area of exploration will be new models of stakeholder engagement and the role of information technology within the global economy.

"HP has demonstrated real vision and commitment in its approach to bringing corporate social responsibility to life," said Dezsö J. Horváth, dean of the Schulich School of Business. "This endowment is further evidence of HP's desire to celebrate its success as a company by helping to enrich the communities in which it operates."

Our partnership with the Schulich School of Business builds on our involvement with Canadian Business for Social Responsibility (CBSR), an organization that HP Canada helped establish in 2002. The CBSR is a not-for-profit association of Canadian businesses that supports its member companies in operating in an economically and environmentally sustainable manner while recognizing the interests of its stakeholders.
