EU Projects

This project aims to foster the debate among national and European workers’ representatives’ organisations and employers’ organisations in the field of non financial information reports (NFIR) so they can improve social dialogue at national and European level and assert their interest in shaping the European policies and the Directive 2014/95/ EU (pdf), which has mostly been implemented at a minimum level and is reaching different levels of development depending on the specific European state.

The title of this project (TALK) was chosen precisely because the background found for this kind of European initiatives and political targets shows the need of spreading the debate and the action among companies and unions, social agents and civil organizations.

NFIR are a scope for the involvement of workers and their bodies of representation in terms of social dialogue with companies and employers organizations, and their participation may promote the improvement of Corporative Social Responsibility policies and the sustainability in the European industry.

A specific target is to provide skills for workers representatives to analyse non-financial information reports disclosure by companies. Among the benefits of this task, it can be mentioned to improve the social dialogue at company level.
