Business Leaders Forum (BLF) is the first coalition of socially responsible companies in Serbia established with a mission to stimulate the development of corporate social responsibility and set permanent and stable CSR practices in Serbian business sector. The network was founded in 2008 at the initiative of non-profit CSR organization SMart kolektiv and several leading Serbian and multinational companies.
In less developed countries and transitional economies, establishing such coalitions is frequently the only institutional framework for CSR, without which the strategic affirmation of CSR practice would be unimaginable. Therefore Serbian Business Leaders Forum implements various educational and mainstreaming activities, as well as tailor-made programmes tackling specific social and environmental issues such as youth unemployment and climate change.
Members of Business Leaders Forum Serbia are: Radio Diffusion Company B92, Erste Bank, Holcim Serbia, Société Générale Bank, U. S. Steel Serbia, Lafarge BFC, Coca-Cola Hellenic, Philip Morris International, British American Tobacco, Eurobank EFG, PricewaterhouseCoopers, Droga Kolinska Group, VIP mobile d.o.o, KPMG International and Ernst&Young.
