Since writing my first blog I have moved back to Brussels. During my time here I have been trying to explore which organisations are already looking into this question of “corporate social responsibility” and I am pleased to hear that there are indeed, of course, quite a few.
First and foremost I came across the European Academy of Business in Society (EABIS), an organisation which deals with “the most critical issues confronting economies and societies today”.

Secondly I found CSR Europe: “The European business network for CSR”
http://www.csreurope.org/
Then, Ethical Corporation: They “provide business intelligence for sustainability.”

Another one…. The Institute for Social-Ecological Research (ISOE) “a non-commercial research facility dedicated to integrated environmental and sustainability research at both a national and international level.”

Finally, an excellent mentor I once had mentioned this organisation to me:
European Corporate Governance Institute – “an international scientific non-profit association. We provide a forum for debate and dialogue between academics, legislators and practitioners, focusing on major corporate governance issues and thereby promoting best practice.”

My next mission is to understand who these people are exactly. What do they do? What are their aims? Are they making a difference? And, after all is it worth trying to make a difference?
