Project title : NASCO: NEW APPROACH FOR SMALL AND MEDIUM-SIZED ENTERPRISES TO THE COMPANIES' SENSE OF SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
Nasco (New Approaches for SMEs to the COmpanies' Sense of Social Responsibility) has been planned in order to answer to a series of social, economic and environmental connected needs and implications characterising current debate about European companies' social responsibility (CSR).
Co-funded by the European Social Fund (ESF) article 6 and promoted by EBLA (Ente Bilaterale Lavoro e Ambiente) - in partnership with Cescot Nazionale, Ecipa Lazio, Formare (Italy), Ceefia (France), Cria (Spain), Omega Technology (Greece) and with the support of entrepreneurial and handicraftsmen associations (among which CNA, Confesercenti and Federlazio) and of social partners (CGIL, CISL and UIL) -
Nasco started in November 2001 following the European Commision's Green Paper's suggestions: "it is opportune to give to enterprises, especially to SMEs, suggestions and tools allowing them to efficaciously present relations about own social responsibility connected progresses and results"
This project aims to deepen and understand the existing link between micro, small and medium enterprises (SME) and CSR, contributing in SMEs' worldwide involvement inside this debate and valorising these enterprises' specific contribution to the dissemination of socially responsible behaviours.
