Last year the European Commission published its Communication on CSR. Today the German Federal Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs (BMAS) invited interested parties to a Luncheon-Debate in the Permanent Representation of the Federal Republic. The objective of the debate was to explain the approach of the Federal Government in more detail and to let other stakeholders that are part of the national CSR-Forum present their views. The debate was moderated by ConPolicy Director, Dr. Christian Thorun.
