As part of their activities on the "citizens' side" of corporate social responsibility and on the participation of citizens' organizations in policymaking, Active Citizenship Foundation (FONDACA) and Active Citizenship Network (ACN) carried out a research project on partnerships between private companies and citizens' organizations in eight European Union countries. The research aimed, on the one hand, at filling the existing gap in knowledge on cooperation between citizens' organizations and companies in developing corporate social responsibility (CSR) activities; and, on the other, at identifying guidelines based on existing good practices for the development of partnerships in Europe.
The project was co-funded by the European Commission, DG Employment and Social Affairs
