Welcome Letter<br />
Welcome to the 2009 Doing Good and Doing Well Conference!<br />
Dear Conference Guests,<br />
Thank you for joining us at the 2009 Doing Good and Doing Well Conference. On behalf of <strong>IESE</strong><br />
Business School, <strong>IESE</strong>’s Responsible Business Club, and Net Impact, we would like to welcome<br />
you to Barcelona.<br />
The Doing Good and Doing Well conference was a result of the labors of two forward-thinking <strong>IESE</strong><br />
graduate business students, Heather Blahnik and Emma Coles, in 2004. Over the past six years,<br />
the conference has grown dramatically and has proved to hundreds of socially-minded graduate<br />
business students and professionals that doing good and doing well are not mutually exclusive.<br />
This year, <strong>IESE</strong> Business School has partnered with Net Impact to bring this exciting event to an<br />
even larger audience.<br />
In light of recent events in the global economy, this year’s conference theme is Doing Good When<br />
We Are Not Doing So Well - Creating Sustainable Value in a Downturn. Our speakers will discuss<br />
the tough decisions leaders are facing during this economic downturn and explore the business<br />
case for continued commitment to social and environmental responsible practices.<br />
We hope that this conference will spark discussion and debate regarding the future of responsible<br />
business and that you will leave feeling equipped and inspired to do well in any economy.<br />
Enjoy the conference!<br />
Sincerely,<br />
Elizabeth Curran Liz Maw<br />

How Is Business Helping to Achieve the UN’s Millennium Development Goals?<br />
Room: Auditorium (South Campus)<br />
Business, development, profit, sustainability - can they coexist? Since businesses have an ever increasing<br />
impact across the world, it is important that they play a significant role in reaching the United Nations Millennium<br />
Development Goals (MDGs). Can businesses contribute while still providing competitive returns to their<br />
shareholders? Are there best practices and sustainable strategies which can be implemented across different<br />
industries? Join us in a lively discussion on how the private sector has helped galvanize the global efforts to reach<br />
the MDGs by 2015 and whether or not this will be sufficient.<br />

Valuing Environmental, Social, and Governance Factors:<br />
A New Source of Competitive Advantage<br />
Room: Q103 (North Campus)<br />
Many professional investors and sell side advisors are expanding their financial analyses to include the valuation<br />
of environmental, social and governance factors . This process enables investors to identify companies that align<br />
with their values, while exposing the competitive advantages, risks and opportunities inherent in their business<br />
activites. This panel brings together representatives of several leading European firms to discuss the techniques<br />
being used to quantify risks and evaluate companies according to their performance in this field.<br />

Sustainability Consulting Priorities in a Crisis:<br />
Implications and Potential Opportunities<br />
Room: Q401 (North Campus)<br />
In the the current economic crisis, businesses have been faced with difficult decisions about the allocation of<br />
resources. How does this situation emphasize or detract from a company’s focus on sustainability and their<br />
use of sustainability consulting? What does this imply about the perceived importance of integrating socially<br />
and environmentally responsible practices? This panel will explore the latest trends and the future challenges of<br />
sustainability consulting in order to understand its specific contribution to company performance, environmental<br />
impact, and social development.<br />

Smart Technology: Can IT Reduce CO2 emissions?<br />
Room: G302 (South Campus)<br />
The SMART 2020 report, prepared by The Climate Group, outlines the CO2 emissions of the IT sector and then<br />
demonstrates the potentially avoidable emissions in other sectors (e.g. energy, transport, buildings) thanks to the<br />
use of technology. It concludes that the savings are significantly greater than the added emissions produced by<br />
the IT industry. The Climate Group, Schneider Electric, and Eggleston Partners will discuss the challenges and<br />
opportunities that smart design and technology bring to many different sectors.<br />

Healthcare Delivery – How to Achieve the Biggest Impact?<br />
Room: G302 (South Campus)<br />
A 1994 World Bank study found that 88 cents of every dollar of public expenditure on medication is lost to<br />
inefficiencies with only 12 percent reaching the patient. The situation has unfortunately not improved in the<br />
fifteen years since this study. This panel will explore how we can improve the efficiency of healthcare delivery.<br />
Representatives from various backgrounds and geographies will take on this challenging topic. They will discuss<br />
scalability of projects and drug affordability for the poor. Furthermore, they will touch upon the role publicpartnerships<br />
play and the challenges they present, the need for better management in the healthcare delivery<br />
system, and how MBAs could contribute.<br />

Real Business Careers with Social Impact - Stories from the Other Side<br />
Room: G201 (South Campus)<br />
MBAs often find it difficult to envisage the path from a business career to one in social impact. The area of scope<br />
is so wide and varied (including social entrepreneurship, microcredit, social investment, and CSR) that it requires<br />
a concerted effort to find the right role. This panel will seek to explore the opportunities for MBAs in the social<br />
impact sector and how to find these career options. The panel will explore how this decision is made and what key<br />
considerations should be made before embarking on a socially impactful career.<br />

African Entrepreneurs and Executives: Creating the Opportunity for Success<br />
Room: Auditorium (South Campus)<br />
Economic development is a complex issue in Africa, one for which there is no single solution. A holistic approach<br />
to economic and social development includes engagement with large and small scale enterprise, promotion of<br />
education and the creation of meaningful jobs. This panel brings together entrepreneurs who are playing a unique<br />
role in building economic capacity through various approaches. Representatives of the for-profit and not-forprofit<br />
world will share their experiences and offer their ideas on how corporations and organizations can increase<br />
opportunities for business development in Africa.<br />

Beyond the Mission Statement: Tools for Achieving Social Benefits through For-Profit<br />
Investments<br />
Room: Q103 (North Campus)<br />
Access to capital is a critical driver for economic growth and social development. Private equity firms are<br />
increasing their investment in emerging markets, filling the void in which development capital was previously<br />
unavailable. In their work, some private equity firms are deviating from the standard investment model and<br />
seeking to promote economic and social development with their funds, rather than focusing solely on financial<br />
returns. These firms go beyond the mission statement by taking into account the social benefits of projects. This<br />
panel will explore the deal structure process, management of capital and measuring of performance. Join our<br />
panel of experts to compare and contrast the standard private equity methods with for-profit social investment<br />
methodologies.<br />

The Challenge of Microcredit: Scaling Microcredit through Innovation and Technology<br />
Room: Q401 (North Campus)<br />
Nobel laureate Dr. Muhammad Yunus and the Grameen Bank brought to light microcredit solutions for the people<br />
at the bottom of the pyramid. Since those early beginnings, microcredit has evolved and has been successfully<br />
implemented in regions throughout the world. However, scaling and adapting this model to different environments<br />
is crucial to sustain this growth. This panel will address issues beyond the traditional microcredit business model<br />
and explore how innovative models and technology may be used to scale microcredit in developing countries.<br />
The audience will be challenged to brainstorm solutions for more effective microfinance, lower operational costs,<br />
and new technological applications that could be used to resolve the challenges that the microcredit sector will<br />
encounter as it continues to grow.<br />

Most life-saving medications are simply unaffordable for those at the bottom of the pyramid. However, drug<br />
donations present their own problems since it is difficult to ensure that donated drugs actually reach patients due<br />
to lack of accountability and general inefficiencies. This panel will shed light on both traditional and innovative<br />
approaches in making drugs accessible and affordable to the poor and how to evaluate them in terms of efficacy.<br />

Involving Developing Countries in Climate Change Mitigation: the Clean Development<br />
Mechanism (CDM)<br />
Room: G301 (South Campus)<br />
The Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) has been added to the Kyoto Protocol in order to engage developing<br />
countries in the global effort against climate change. This mechanism encourages technology transfers and<br />
investments from richer countries to developing ones through a market system. This panel will explore the role<br />
companies such as One Carbon, Essent Trading and The Gold Standard Foundation play in light of the post-Kyoto<br />
negotiations and global commitment to reduce carbon output. Join our panelists for an in-depth analysis of the<br />
current challenges and future opportunities for the Clean Development Mechanism and carbon market.<br />

Micro Health Insurance – Healthcare for $1.75 a Year? Is There a Business?<br />
Room: G302 (South Campus)<br />
In the finance sector, microcredit has proved to be a sustainable business model that can enable the poor to<br />
lift themselves from poverty. Innovative social entrepreneurs are now exploring if Micro Health Insurance is<br />
the answer to the global health crisis. Can the microcredit model be adapted to provide affordable healthcare<br />
coverage for people at the bottom of the pyramid? What would be the right structure and pricing for a sustainable<br />

In the past, a company’s greatest service to its community may have been simply providing jobs and products or<br />
services. Consumers, clients and employees are now demanding more, looking to corporations to provide value<br />
and engagement in the communities in which they operate. On this panel, three professionals from very different<br />
industries and backgrounds discuss their organization’s models and motivations for investing in the people and<br />
places around them. Panelists will cover how they choose where to invest, how community investing fits into<br />
growth, the hazards and the unexpected benefits of community involvement.<br />

Renewable Energy: How is the Industry Faring the Global Recession?<br />
Room: G301 (South Campus)<br />
The global recession has had a severe impact on most sectors of the global economy, including the renewable<br />
energy industry. Power generation companies embarking on large scale projects are demanding intensive capital<br />
investments at a time when lending is limited. In such a period of uncertainty, is the renewable energy industry<br />
in turbulent waters or in safe territory? This panel aims to deliver a comprehensive view on how the renewable<br />
energy industry is coping with the global recession and attempts to provide insight on what challenges and<br />
opportunities may lay ahead.<br />

Career Forum / Trade Fair<br />
Through the Career Forum, the DGDW conference gives the opportunity to those interested in developing a career in a<br />
range of areas related to responsible business to meet companies and organizations who are actively looking or have at<br />
some time hired MBA students. Organizations cover a broad range of areas including renewable energy, social investment,<br />
social entrepreneurship, microfinance, development, sustainability, consulting and CSR to name a few.<br />
This year we have also introduced a new initiative, the Trade Fair, to allow all participants to learn more about select<br />
organizations participating in the conference. The Trade Fair offers a great opportunity for participants to learn about an<br />
organization and for them to showcase the organization and distribute materials, for example a sustainability report, critical<br />
findings etc while creating a two-way network in the industry. It will run at the same time as the Career Forum.<br />

Noel de Villiers - Founder of Open Africa and Ashoka Fellow<br />
Barbara Wagner – Senior Consultant, Dalberg<br />
Noel is an Ashoka fellow since 2006. With the conviction that Africa’s greatest assets are its people,<br />
its cultural heritage, and its natural resources, Noel de Villiers is creating a continent-wide network of<br />
community-owned and operated tourism routes that leverage these resources to create economic and<br />
social development opportunities for African rural areas, towns, and cities. Through his organization,<br />
Open Africa, Noel is building a pan-African network of urban and rural tourism routes that are locally<br />
owned and managed, but marketed internationally. The vision behind this network is to create economic<br />
and social opportunities by harnessing the growing potential of tourism in Africa for marginalized<br />
communities. He is putting control of this potential into the hands of local communities by working with<br />
them to identify, promote, and manage their own cultural and natural assets. These efforts create new<br />
businesses, preserve cultural heritage, and foster community pride of civic cooperation and leadership<br />
in a new generation. Noel’s model encourages marginalized local communities to form their own<br />
businesses to serve the tourism market, thereby affording them entry to a previously unreachable<br />
economic system. Through creative online marketing and industry partnerships, these enterprises<br />
are brought to a new level of quality, marketability and potential. The shared effort of developing and<br />
sustaining not just individual enterprises but linked tourist routes leads to infrastructure development,<br />
increased political participation, and links to the international community. Open Africa also creates<br />
a platform for community leaders to champion a new path of growth and development for their<br />
communities.<br />
Barbara Wagner has worked extensively on strategy projects in the areas of organization, change<br />
management and policy. At Dalberg, Barbara has advised a number of UN Agencies – most recently<br />
through her work on “Delivering as One”, where she helped selected countries identify how the United<br />
Nations system in the country could work more coherently and effectively in the areas of development,<br />
humanitarian assistance and the environment. Prior to joining Dalberg, Barbara worked with McKinsey<br />
& Company, where she advised leading multinational corporations and multilateral organizations on<br />
strategy, operations management and finance. Barbara holds a Master of Science in Economics from<br />
Barcelona Graduate School of Economics, Spain and a graduate degree in International Business<br />
Administration from the University of Vienna, Austria.<br />
