CSR WORKSHOPS 2009. CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY TO ALL ITS WORTH  CSR IS NOT COMMUNICATION, NOR PR, NOR PHILANTHROPY, NOR MARKETING  CSR IS NOT COMMUNICATION, NOR PR, NOR PHILANTHROPY, NOR MARKETING
Welcome!
Dear Visitor,

The Corporate Social Responsibility Workshops (CSR Workshops / CSRW) have been introduced at the end of 2008 as part of our efforts to provide professional training to those interested or working as CSR Officers, Ethics and Compliance Officers, Corporate Governance, Sustainable Development or Corporate Communication specialists, or just having to do with these fields.

The CSR Workshops consist in a series of intensive training programs, all prepared for general audience, but discussing particular topics such as: CSR vs. Ethics Management; Business Ethics and CSR; building up a CSR program; monitoring and reporting on the CSR program; Stakeholder Management. If you want to read the syllabus for the CSRW '09 training programs, you may access them here.

In 2009, the CSR Workshops will take place in Romania, Bulgaria, Hungary and Middle East, depending on the number of applications. For the sessions taking place in Romania, the official language is Romanian, while at all the other sessions the trainers will speak in English.

At the same time, is worth noticing that the training content is taking into consideration two essential elements: a) the regional economic and culture aspect, and b) the need for practical tools and measure in order to increase the company value. For this reason, the training method includes relevant examples and study cases.

Now, we would like to invite you to take the time and visit this website. We are sure that, if CSR is in your area of interest, the CSR Workshops will offer you valuable insight into corporate social responsibility and ethics management.

Romania CSR Reports Ranking
We developed a special methodology for ranking CSR reports issued by companies registered in Romania. The purpose of this systems is double: first and foremost, our intention is to help companies build up better reporting mechanisms and win the trust of their stakeholders; second, we want to educate the Romanian business environment to talk openly about common issues concerning the responsibilities of organizations. The results of our ranking system and comments on the reports included in our survey can be accessed at the Applied Ethics Reference Point.
