The GARDE programme of EPS and the League of Human Rights will be holding a conference on Corporate Social Responsibility in Central Europe at the CEELI facility in Prague 15 September 2006. We would like to invite up to 110 Central European participants from NGOs, the business sector, government, academia, and trade unions to participate.
the main goals of the conference
1) To debate how Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), primarily that of multinational corporations, is being implemented in Central Europe.
2) To present the results of a yearlong project on CSR with partners from seven new Member States.
Representatives of the individual stakeholders listed above will then be able to openly debate essential questions concerning CSR, for example:
- Is CSR a sufficient response to global challenges today?
- Do we need a mandatory legal framework for CSR, and is certification a way to accelerate CSR development?
- How do companies conceive of their "responsibility"?
We are particularly glad the CEELI Institute has agreed to hold this conference at its facility.
Participation is free of charge.
