Description
This project''s primary objective is to evaluate and promote Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) policies in Bulgaria while drawing from successful Norwegian practices. As a result, NASOR aims to achieve several key outcomes: Firstly, they will analyze contemporary CSR trends, specifically focusing on how these practices apply to the labor market, drawing insights from the Norwegian experience. NASOR''s team will also create draft criteria for assessing CSR practices. Secondly, they will share experiences with their Norwegian partner to delve into and learn from exemplary CSR practices. The project includes organizing a Forum of Socially Responsible Employers and conducting two training seminars for SMEs. These sessions will provide a platform for discussing CSR strategies tailored to the nature of their business activities. Lastly, NASOR will develop a handbook featuring proven Norwegian practices, alongside relevant methodologies, which will be presented to the Ministry of Social Policy and the Advisory Council for CSR in Bulgaria.
Achieving this requires a series of key activities, including:
- Project Management
- Project Publicity
- Financial Audit
- Research Activity
Further this project contributes to the overall goal of strengthening bilateral relations. NASOR and its Norwegian Partner have been in close cooperation in order to identify and select the project activities that will suit and enrich the work of the organizations taken as a whole. The project will be just the first step in the establishment of long-term partnership and future collaborations not only for both parties, but also for other Bulgarian and Norwegian policy-makers and stakeholders. The Bulgarian-Norwegian Bilateral relations under this project will be promoted at two levels: at the level of project partnership and at the level of the target groups.
