Harvard: Integration of Social Responsibility in Financial Communities: Harva...DinarStandard
This is a summary presentation of a paper paper presented at the Harvard Islamic Finance Forum March 2010. The paper discusses how Islamic Finance has an opportunity to contextualize integration of social responsibility with its own unique approach--enabling significant positive social impact. The discussion points are inspired by the results of an extensive survey on Corporate Social Responsibility at Islamic Financial Institutions (IFIs) carried out by Dinar Standard and Dar Al Istithmar with the support of the Accounting and Auditing Organisation for Islamic Financial Institutions (AAOIFI). The paper focuses on Islamic perspective on corporate social responsibility and a framework for the Islamic Finance industry, but also includes assessment of progress made by conventional CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility), Socially Responsible Investing (SRI) and Social Entrepreneurship (SE) initiatives in order to learn from their successes and also to contribute back to global best practices.

Deprecated: Foundations of Zend Framework 2Adam Culp
DEPRECATED-Please see http://www.slideshare.net/adamculp/foundations-of-zendframework for updated version.
For this talk Adam Culp will cover a basic intro to Zend Framework 2 (ZF2) and how to use the foundational pieces. We will discover how to get a Zend Framework 2 application up and running quickly using GitHub, Composer, and the Zend Framework 2 Skeleton Application. Then we will leverage the Zend Skeleton Module to introduce adding modules to a Zend Framework 2 application.
We will also cover basic usage of the ZF2 module manager, event manager, service manager, and database components. Adam will also introduce some useful resources to help attendees continue learning on their own. The goal of the talk is to give attendees enough information to be able to get a jump start into using ZF2.
The Corporate Social Responsibilities of Financial Institutions for the Condu...Larry Catá Backer
Abstract: Corporate social responsibility (CSR) can be split along two distinct lines. The first touches on the nature of corporate personality and is rooted in domestic law regulating enterprises specifically and legal persons generally. The second touches on the nature of the rights of individuals and is rooted in international law (and sometimes domestic constitutional law) defining the scope of the human rights of individuals and the consequential obligations of states and legal persons. Both conversations intertwine though they tend to operate autonomously. In both cases, however, the traditional focus of corporate responsibility has focused on the relationship between an operating company and its direct effects on individuals, society and the environment. That discussion remains contentious, conflicted and unresolved. But it ignores a critical actor—the financial institutions which provide operating capital to enterprises. This paper considers the corporate social responsibilities of financial institutions, including sovereign wealth funds, for the conduct of their borrowers. The focus will be the extent of any duty or responsibility of lenders to ensure that their borrowers comply with CSR obligations (or alternatively conforms to international human rights standards) as a core aspect of their own CSR obligations (or alternatively) of their responsibility to respect human rights. Section II examines the general regulatory framework. There are two aspects that are relevant. The first is to understand the scope and character of the legal norms that may be applied to enterprises generally with respect to their operation’s that might be understood as CSR-human rights related in nature. The second is to consider the range of non-legal normative governance rules that might apply. In the process it will be important to distinguish between a CSR based regulatory approach and a human rights based approach. Section III considers the application of these norms to financial institutions. This requites distinguishing between those obligations that apply to the internal operations of financial institutions generally, and those obligations that apply to the financial institution’s obligations with respect to its lending activities, that is with respect to its relationship with its borrowers. The essay ends with a brief examination of recent cases in which financial institutions undertook such a responsibility, and the ways in which that obligation was undertaken. Three different types of institutions are considered—private banks, sovereign wealth funds and international financial institutions (IFIs). The paper ends with a preliminary consideration of the consequences of this movement for domestic CSR in the U.S.
