"The newly updated Compendium of public policies on corporate social responsibility (CSR) in the EU offers a snapshot of CSR activity in EU countries.
Grouped by themes it covers the full range of today's issues, including:
* human rights
* reporting and disclosure
* climate change
* issues affecting small businesses
* socially-responsible investment
* education
* public procurement
The Compendium also covers the different kinds of tools used by national governments to encourage CSR:
* legislation
* economic and financial incentives
* awareness-raising
* multi-stakeholder engagement
* "hybrid" instruments (a combination of the above).
The Compendium is richly illustrated with examples and includes an index of initiatives by country and links to relevant national web"
