IPMA ITALY Journal of Applied Project Management
The Expo Milano 2015 exhibition aims
also to create a worldwide occasion
for international dialogue on the
dramatic challenges faced to secure
a sustainable environment into the
future. One of the major events –
hosted and organized by Sodalitas
Foundation, Italy - took place on 19th
June: the Last Call to Europe 2020,
that has represented a great
opportunity to meet with some of the
most advanced European and
international enterprises committed to
achieve a more equitable and
sustainable Europe for millions of
European citizens.
European Commission
representatives, CSR Europe
members, Business Organization
Presidents and worldwide and
European CEOs have brought their
experience on the most relevant
business challenges towards
sustainability, that is meant not only as
a social, ethical driver, but also as a
convenience process aimed at
increasing the Corporate share value.
Volume 1 no. 2 (July 2015)
CSR Europe is the leading European
business network for Corporate Social
Responsibility. Through its network of
corporate members and 42 National
CSR organizations (Sodalitas
Foundation is one of them), it gathers
over 10,000 companies, and acts as a
platform for those businesses looking
to enhance sustainable growth and
positively contribute to society. In its
mission to bring the CSR agenda
forward, CSR Europe goes beyond
European borders and cooperates
with CSR organizations in other regions
across the world.
During the conference, CSR Europe
has launched the “Milan Manifesto –
Enterprise 2020”, a strategic direction
of how the over 10,000 European
enterprises committed to sustainability
can collectively work together to
support the Europe 2020 goals within
the next five years. In order to deliver
on the Enterprise 2020 Manifesto, CSR
Europe facilitates two European
Business Campaigns: Skills for Jobs and
Sustainable Living Cities.
