CSR Europe is the leading European business network for corporate social responsibility with around 80 multinational corporations and 33 national partner organisations as members. The organisation was founded in 1995 by senior European business leaders in response to an appeal by the European Commission President Jacques Delors. It has since grown to become an inspiring network of business people working at the very forefront of CSR across Europe and globally. CSR Europe’s network of national partner organisations brings together 33 membershipbased, business-led CSR organisations from around 30 European countries. In total, the network reaches out to approximately 4000 companies throughout Europe. In October 2010, CSR Europe launched a joint Enterprise 2020 initiative to address societal challenges through collaborative action and shape the business contribution to the European Union’s Europe 2020 strategy for smart, sustainable and inclusive growth. Since its launch, Enterprise 2020 has become the reference initiative for the ideal company of the future and forms the umbrella for all CSR Europe activities.
