About the conference

Berliner Congress Center (bcc)

Businesses demonstrate responsibility - globally and locally

The discourse about the role that businesses play in society is building up international momentum. The global economic and financial market crisis has not decelerated, but on the contrary accelerated this process.

With the National CSR Action Plan, the German government adopted a broad range of measures to take effect at the national and international level and is now implementing them.
At the two-day conference, this Action Plan will be presented to an international audience and the introduction of the concept “CSR - made in Germany“ will underline the high level of social and environmental standards of internationally operating German companies.

In addition, the conference will serve as an opportunity to present and discuss the themes and activities of the European Union, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), the International Labour Organisation (ILO), the United Nations and other international organisations.

Alongside the Conference, there will be booths where companies, social partners and non-governmental organisations will present their activities in the field of social responsibility.
The National CSR Forum supports the Federal Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs in planning and organising the conference.

Message of Greeting

»Businesses that take on social responsibility in the fierce competition of a globalised world deserve the highest praise. I am inviting you to discuss with us successful national and international approaches.«

Dr. Ursula von
der Leyen
Federal Minister of Labour and Social Affairs
