European MarketPlace on CSR

The European MarketPlace on Corporate Social Responsibility, hosted by CSR Europe, is an innovative forum for sharing solutions to business challenges in an informal, exchange-driven and creative environment.

At the MarketPlace, business practitioners present their company solutions to CSR challenges and share experience with their peers. The participants can be both "Givers" and "Takers" at the MarketPlace:

  • "Givers" share their successful CSR solutions at the MarketPlace divided in thematic sections. They show how their company has tackled a particular CSR challenge by offering a brief description of the problem, the solution and the benefits achieved. 
  • "Takers" shop around at the MarketPlace. They have the opportunity to connect with other CSR practitioners, learn from their experiences and find inspiration from the presented solutions.

All over 600 CSR solutions collected for the MarketPlace events held in 2005-2007 are now publicly available in our solutions database.
