Dutch MVO Platform presents vision Southern experts
2005-05-11
Corporate Social Responsibility is a global issue. For the Dutch MVO Platform a good reason to invite experts from all over the world to share their vision on the topic. What does Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) mean for a country like Angola, where large oil companies operate in the midst of injustice, violence and poverty? ‘CSR: Perspectives from the South’ is a unique document that gives experts from different countries in South-America, Africa, Eastern Europe and Asia a voice on the subject of CSR and on what the effects of the current views on CSR mean in their perspective.
'Corporate Social Responsibility: Perspectives from the South'
18 experts from all over the world met during the CSR Worldwide week in
November 2004. They were invited by the Dutch MVO Platform and shared
their knowledge and experiences on CSR in the poorer parts of this
world. CSR is a global issue and experts call on the governments of the
European Union to acknowledge this and act upon this in their CSR
agenda.
The purpose of the CSR Worldwide week was to introduce the Southern
visions on the concept of CSR to Dutch Multinational corporations,
civil society organizations, policy makers and the general public. The
event was linked to the EU Conference on CSR organized by the Dutch
Government (Maastricht, 6-9 November 2004).
‘CSR: Perspectives from the South’ is written in English, and includes a French and Spanish translation.
