More information

The aim of the Action Plan is to anchor CSR more firmly in enterprises and public bodies and win over even more small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to CSR. The strategy also foresees individual federal ministries, in their role as models and pacemakers in the area of social responsibility, to issue CSR reports that are in line with international reporting frameworks and principles like GRI and UNGC. The Action Plan for CSR is based on recommendations issued by the National CSR Forum which advises and assists the German government in connection with its policy to foster corporate social responsibility. The Forum includes 44 experts from business, unions, non-governmental organizations and academia/research.
