Welcome to the website of the CSR in Germany!
The number of enterprises which assume social responsibility and integrate voluntary social commitment in their corporate strategy is constantly growing in Germany. The Federal Government wishes to promote this social responsibility. The new Internet page provides information on fundamental aspects of CSR, international guidelines and tools, as well as on the areas of action and activities of the Federal Government in this context. www.csr-in-deutschland.de is a further step towards developing a national CSR Strategy.
The National CSR Forum (CSR = corporate social responsibility) recently presented its recommendation report to the Federal Minister of Labour and Social Affairs, Ursula von der Leyen, in Berlin. In this report, the Forum recommends that the German government develop a national plan of action for CSR in Germany and outlines concrete suggestions for it.
