Summary
The project consists in a workshop that will take place in Chile
during the ABAC meeting in May, 2014. Its main objective is to
analyze principles and guidelines developed in international
fora on Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), their main
characteristics, common elements, and potential challenges
concerning their promotion and implementation. The Workshop
will gather experts on these CSR instruments, governments
from developed and developing APEC economies which have
supported or implemented successful CSR initiatives including
national policies, and private and public companies with
experiences on this matter. The Workshop will be divided in
two parts: the first, with particular attention to the business
sector and the exchange of best practices in both public and
private sectors; and the second, will be oriented to a more
public approach on the role of government officials and public
policies with respect to the promotion of internationally
recognized principles and guidelines on CSR.
Relevance
Directly linked to the Bogor Goals, Corporate Social
Responsibility has been increasingly receiving more attention in
the APEC Region. In APEC 2012, under the theme “Integrate to
Grow, Innovate to Prosper”, APEC Economic Leaders expressed
in their Declaration support to sustainable growth initiatives
and committed to ensure that all actions aimed at protecting
the environment become least trade restrictive and consistent
with their international trade obligations. Recently, gathered in
Bali, Indonesia, Leaders resolve to continue to implement the
APEC Investment Facilitation Action Plan (IFAP) and improve
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) practices and sustainable
investment (see 2013 AELM Declaration, par. 10.e.). In the
same direction, in 2013 Ministers “welcomed the public-private
dialogue on Corporate Social Responsibility [held in Jakarta and
named APEC Workshop on Corporate Social Responsibility for
Local Communities][1], and encouraged officials to work with
the private sector to build and improve upon CSR practices.”
(see 2013 AMM Declaration, par. 22).
May 2014: The workshop will take place during the first week
of May.
