Participants will also get the chance to speak to member of consortia developing these new joint ventures on CSR issues including enabling technologies for environmental sustainability, demographic change in Europe, new business models against poverty, health literacy, financial capability for Europe’s youth and retirees, and many more.
Background
CSR Europe, the European business network for corporate social responsibility. Enterprise 2020 is the future vision for sustainable and responsible business in Europe. Today’s economic, societal and environmental 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. 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? The competition is organised in partnership with European Youth Press and supported by the Belgian EU Presidency.
