The new Communication on Corporate Social Responsibility published by the Commission builds a new platform and impetus for CSR in the European Union. It aims to encourage companies to be involved even more in addressing employment and social issues within the Europe 2020 strategy, and is one means of securing an exit from the economic crisis. The Commission firmly believes that if companies pay genuine attention to training, youth employment, dialogue with employee representatives, employee health and well-being, gender awareness, and diversity management they will be drivers of new commercial opportunities With this new initiative, the Commission will continue to work closely with stakeholders, including companies, trade unions, and NGOs.
