Introduction to the Partner

Responsible Business Forum is the first nongovernmental organization in Poland to provide in-depth focus on the concept of corporate social responsibility. Forum was established in Warsaw in 2000 as an initiative of Polish businessmen, academics and NGOs.

The Forum’s mission is to make the idea of responsible business widespread as a standard in Poland in order to increase companies’ competitiveness, to satisfy society and to improve the state of the natural environment.

To achieve these goals, we focus our activity on:

• helping businesses develop their social responsibility,
• building businesses coalition that focuses on solving social problems,
• creating a forum where managers, the state administration and nongovernmental organizations can exchange information on CSR,
• promoting corporate social responsibility solutions adequete to the needs and capabilities of companies in Poland,
• analyzing and developing responsible business

Since 2002 the Forum is Polish national partner for CSR Europe – a network of organizations focusing on the promotion of responsible business in Europe. Cooperating with CSR Europe has lead the Forum to a higher level of international activity. In 2008 the Forum joined Global Compact – the UN’s initiative to promote sustainable development and corporate citizenship.
