The most recent plenary meeting of the European Multistakeholder Forum on CSR was held
in February 2009.1 In its 2010-11 Work Programme, the European Commission raises the
possibility of adopting a new communication on CSR in 2011. To prepare that possible
communication, the European Commission is convening a plenary meeting of the European
Multistakeholder Forum on CSR on 29-30 November 2010.
The meeting will provide an opportunity for stakeholders and the European Commission to
exchange views on the possible new Communication on CSR. The meeting should, as far as
possible, generate a degree of consensus around the scope and content of the Communication.
The meeting will take place over one and a half days. The first half day will analyse the
current context of CSR, both in Europe and globally, with particular reference to the
economic crisis and the social and environmental challenges we face; and will assess progress
to date in the development and uptake of CSR. The second day will be dedicated to
discussing different issues and initiatives that could form part of European policy on CSR.
The Commission intends to prepare some informal issues papers to help focus and structure
discussions, especially regarding the parallel sessions on day 2.
The total number of participants will be 200-250. Some will be nominated by representative
stakeholder organisations, and some invited directly by the European Commission. As in the
past, a reasonable balance between different stakeholder groups will be ensured. EU Member
States and the European Parliament will be properly represented. A number of participants
from outside the EU will be invited.
