The European project HI4CSR, the Harmonization and implementation of the EU’s Corporate Social Responsibility Directives contributes to the realization of the Europe 2020 strategy by involving European universities, consultancy firms, CSR organizations and decision-makers from different countries to create sustainable, stable and inclusive economic growth.
The primary objectives of the project are adult education and exchange of best practice examples about the harmonization and implementation of European directives in the field of socially responsible business in national legislative frameworks.
The project focuses on six Directives in the area of socially responsible business related to non-financial reporting, eco-labels, food donation, employment of people with disabilities, encouraging treatment of used materials and European water legislation.
Project topics
CSR Guide was created as output of cooperation between project partners.
The guide is the first comparative study of the six topics mentioned in the area of social responsibility, which provides a clear and systematic overview of the implementation and harmonization of the CSR Directives of the European Union, as well as examples of best practice from Member States.
The CSR guide was made for business representatives of all sizes, decision makers, CSR professionals, scientists, students and all other stakeholders of corporate social responsibility and sustainable development.
