Enterprise 2020
What is Enterprise 2020?
What will the world look like in 2020? How will trends such as increasing globalisation, demographic change, natural resource scarcity, technology acceleration, global health challenges and social divisions shape business and society? How will they influence the capacity of enterprises to create value that contributes to economic, societal and environmental progress?
Today’s European and global challenges are driving a profound transformation of our world. Within the next decade, they will increasingly bring into question our current patterns of living, working, learning, communicating, consuming and sharing resources. It is against this background that CSR Europe launched its Enterprise 2020 in October 2010.
In the context of the EU’s Europe 2020 strategy, Enterprise 2020 highlights the contribution that businesses can make to achieve the EU goals for building a smart, sustainable and inclusive economy delivering high levels of employment, productivity and social cohesion by 2020.
Based on a shared vision of the enterprise of the future, Enterprise 2020 is a new reference initiative for companies committed to developing innovative business practices and working together with their stakeholders to provide solutions to emerging societal needs.
Through Enterprise 2020, many enterprises and stakeholders are able to lead on “Enterprise 2020 Collaborative Projects”, and develop thought leadership and practical tools for companies and their stakeholders. “Enterprise 2020” is there to act as an incubator and spin off for companies willing to innovate with peers and expert stakeholders on projects to produce tangible results and models which can be shared externally across industries.
Under Enterprise 2020, for the period 2011 - 2013, CSR Europe has prioritised 6 collaborative projects. In this respect, CSR Europe will endeavour to provide informative Issue Insights on these topics by means of webinars, conference calls, meetings and events to our members.
