CSR Europe has been at the forefront of sustainability leadership for over three decades.
The network pioneered the creation of the first CSR Director roles within European businesses.
Fast forward two decades, these efforts laid the groundwork for the European Union to broaden its sustainability framework, mainstreaming sustainability practices previously driven by voluntary efforts.
THE CHALLENGE
Today, the challenges are vastly more complex and times more uncertain. In this evolving landscape, the role and responsibilities of sustainability leaders within companies have become even more crucial. They are essential to future-proofing their companies, ensuring they remain competitive in light of new expectations and requirements, while simultaneously contributing to a sustainable and inclusive Europe. Their strategic leadership and expertise are essential for the European Union to navigate complex issues and develop viable solutions, aligning with its ambition to become the world’s first climate-neutral continent by 2050.
