Dear Readers,

This Yuletide, I am reminded of a quote from Charles Dickens that says, “I will honour Christmas in my heart and try to keep it all the year.” The birth of the Messiah brought, and still brings, good news to all who recognize the need for change – one that has faith, hope and love. CIB pursued after activities – though not connected with Christmas – which in some ways tried to encourage the three qualities just mentioned. Some of these are shared with you in the ensuing pages.

How can business and industry play a constructive role in Corporate Social Responsibility was discussed over a three-day workshop with Indian and Japanese delegates.

The launch of two more City Chapters in India – one in Bangalore and the other in Jamshedpur – to encourage businesses to eschew unethical practices is another update that we bring to you. While the Inaugural
meeting of the Bangalore Chapter has been included in this issue, the one for the steel city will be shared with you in the next update.

The Mumbai Chapter met for the eighth time to build on one of the verticals that it had decided to focus on – reaching out to Management students and industry bodies in Mumbai. The report of their meeting will give you an insight into their discussions.

Included in this issue is also an invitation to the next Trust and Integrity in a Global Economy (TIGE) conference to be held in Caux, Switzerland from June 26 to July 1, 2015. We would like to encourage
you to consider participating, especially if you are close by at the time.

We trust you will find this Newsletter informative and interesting.

Until our next issue, we would like to leave you with every good wish and a very blessed Christmas.

Mrs. Ishika Banerjee
