CSR Europe calls for a new strategy seeking a balance between "compliance" and "innovation" to support the development of new products and services that meet sustainable social needs.
We also recommend putting in the center of the strategy to employees and their job training mainly in young populations.
On the other hand, argue that it is imperative to adopt a pragmatic strategy in the supply chain in human rights issues.
Finally, CSR Europe urged to bring transparency in the European action plan to require integrated reporting and ensure effective implementation of the EU Directive on disclosure of non-financial information.
Étienne Davignon, Minister of State and President of CSR Europe, requested the Commission to '' the European Strategy 2020 CSR not only focus on a common understanding of CSR to minimize risks and meet obligations, but also to support companies to seize opportunities to innovate in products and services. ''
Celia Moore, President of CSR Europe and Director of Corporate Citizenship and Corporate Affairs, IBM, reiterated his call to '' put young people and European workers in the center of a European strategy '' adding that '' should include a strong proposal for action to improve youth employability through Entrepreneurship and Learning Systems ".
CSR Europe hopes that the renewed EU CSR for 2015-2020 to be built in coordination with all stakeholders.
