EU Projects

The most ambitious activities of this project are the International Workshop (IW) and the national educational activities, because they will develop the cooperation between trade-union and companies in this field, and workers’ and European Works Councils skills to participate and promote these policies.

In the month of April 2020, an IW was planned to be held in Florence, in which experts from employers’ organizations and companies experts, union experts, workers representatives and international social experts were going to analyze and debate different issues regarding in the field of corporative social responsibility (CSR) and non-financial information reporting (NFIR).

The conclusions obtained during this IW would be used by project partners to prepare a Base Document for the promotion of initiatives and training actions in each country.

Due to the current COVID 19 crisis, this face-to-face IW was cancelled until the sanitary situation improves, so it was decided to advance part of the work and the conclusions by means of a Questionnaire that will be sent to the experts of each country.

The Technical Questionnaire (TQ) intends to mitigate the postponed IW, allowing us to anticipate the elaboration of some outputs of the project. As possibly IW will have to be modified in some way, the conclusions from TQ will help to define a new proposal for the developing of the IW. As there is no certainty that it will be possible to prepare a face to face IW , results from TQ, together with additional virtual technical meetings, could allow to share, discuss and validate the results.

So, the objective of the questionnaire is to gather the opinion of the different interest groups identified in the project (employers’ organizations, company´s experts, unions, workers representatives, social partners) on the topics that were to be the object of reflection and debate during the IW.
