ESCOBALT examines the contribution Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) can make to building a sustainable energy sector.

ESCOBALT project aims at adopting common strategies and action plans based on the CSR concept and promoting rational use of energy as the basis for CSR, thus improving the sustainability of the energy sector. This objective is reached through development of partner co-operation and discussing the opportunities and difficulties of CSR in the energy field.

In this section, you can find outputs of the project activities and discussions. For more general information on CSR - including guidelines and resources for companies - please visit here.

NATIONAL CSR SURVEY


Each of the ESCOBALT partner countries has prepared a survey on the current status of CSR in their own countries. These surveys describe the experiences that each of the countries already have in applying CSR and its pillars to the energy industry, as well as the difficulties and development focus points that can be identified. The surveys also include a list of CSR contacts in each country.

LEAFLETS ON CSR CONCEPT AND BEST PRACTICES


One of ESCOBALT's outputs is a series of 5 leaflets on the framework and concept of CSR. These leaflets also include guidelines for development and case-examples.

ESCOBALT has also examined and identified Best Practices in the field of CSR in different organisations. As a result of the study, the project has published a series of 15 leaflets, representing a wide range of Best Practice case examples on CSR.

Both series of leaflets can be found in CSR Concept and Best Practices.
