The European CSR Award Scheme is the first ever pan-European Award Scheme to inspire CSR excellence in multistakeholder projects.

This exciting and pioneering initiative will focus on successful partnerships between business and non-business organisations, with particular emphasis on collaborative programmes that promote sustainability through innovation.

The overall aim of the Award Scheme is to:

• Give higher visibility to CSR excellence and raise global awareness on the positive impact that business can have on society
• Bring the best European CSR multistakeholder projects into focus
• Enhance the exchange of CSR best practice across Europe
• Encourage CSR collaboration between enterprises and stakeholders
• Create innovative solutions to tackle sustainability issues

In Italy the award is coordinated by Sodalitas Foundations, which opened the call for project proposals that remains open until the 28^th of February 2013.

More information about the CSR Award national initiatives are available on the scheme website and in this video.
