In 2009, the Melbourne Convention + Visitors Bureau (MCVB) was awarded for its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives by the Victorian branch of Australia’s leading industry body, Meetings & Events Australia (MEA).
CSR Support with MCVB
MCVB is committed to leading the Business Events industry on CSR, and can provide support, tools and advice in the following areas:
- Leaving a lasting legacy - MCVB works with those holding Business Events in Melbourne to make lasting contributions to the community through education, information sharing, particularly through public forums, and fundraising initiatives. See our ‘7th IBRO World Congress of Neuroscience’ Case Study for examples of benefiting the local community through education and information sharing. See our ‘Amway Greater China Leadership Challenge’ Case Study for an excellent example of contributing to a local charity through an innovative team initiative.
- CSR Donation Program - MCVB has also initiated a CSR Donation Program, wherein meeting planners or event VIPs and Guest Speakers can choose a charity or environmental protection agency from MCVB’s list to receive donations made on behalf of the associations and societies meeting in Melbourne.
