IMPACT CSR-project |
Consisting of a consortium of 16 European research institutions - of which our Centre is one of the partners - combining independent sustainability research, business schools, Universities and CSR networks, the IMPACT project aims to:
- Systematically measure the impact of CSR on social, economic and environmental goals of the European Union
- Provide insights on corporate and institutional factors that drive the creation of CSR impact
- Develop and test methods to assess CSR impact and provide recommendations on how to improve them
IMPACT is funded by the European Commission’s 7th Framework Programme for Research FP7/2007-2013 under grant agreement n° 244618. It is the European Commission’s largest ever research and knowledge development initiative on CSR.

Do the Solidaritest! |
Companies wishing to give something useful back to society sometimes have no idea where to start. And those that make great efforts often go unrewarded. This was the rationale behind last year's launch of Solidaritest, an annual survey of the active efforts made by Belgian companies, or the Belgian branches of international companies, in the field of social solidarity. "Many companies realise that solidarity with the underprivileged is one aspect of their corporate social responsibility", explains jury chairman Luc Van Liedekerke. "It was high time to put the spotlight on this and bring it to the public’s attention."
