Being responsible pays off for companies

Corporate social responsibility (CSR) means companies behave responsibly towards their stakeholders in a strategic way and in their own long-term interest. The European Multi-stakeholder Forum on CSR, launched in October 2002, aims to improve knowledge and consensus on CSR among businesses, trade unions and civil society and to explore whether common European principles on CSR practices and tools would be appropriate.
