"Capital Link CSR in Greece"
"Capital Link CSR in Greece" is an integrated and effective platform combining expertise and communication, with corporate social responsibility issues. Founded on January 2011 by CAPITAL LINK, it aims:
  • to support CSR initiatives and to bridge the communication between companies and NGOs
  • to provide information on current CSR issues and developments in Greece and abroad
  • to promote the actions of socially responsible Greek companies
  • to facilitate the access of business to non-governmental and non-profit organizations in a completely transparent frame
  • to highlight the needs of society and the bodies representing it
  • to achieve synergy between the two; responding successfully to the financial and material needs; to constitute a communication bridge between all social and business groups
Among CSR members are corporations, NGOs, foundations, and associations from all over Greece.

The "Capital Link CSR in Greece" achieves its goals through a series of initiatives and services:
  • The www.csringreece.gr portal (Greek & English) is a) a centralized source of promotion for all CSR news, practices of companies, programs, and needs of associations from all over Greece and b) a consolidated source of information that includes surveys and studies by major foreign and Greek universities, as well as updates on new CSR regulations and decisions passed by international bodies.
  • The weekly electronic newsletter which is distributed to a wide audience.

The interviews are promoted through α) the www.csringreece.gr portal b) the weekly electronic newsletter and c) an electronic distribution to the extended database of Capital Link.
  • The Annual Corporate Social Responsibility Conference offering especially promotion to NGO’s , SMEs & Start-up Companies.
    • The Forum brings together executives from the business world and citizens with representatives from NGOs all over Greece, opening a channel of direct communication between them which facilitates the synergies. During the Forum there is a specially designed space where more than 100 NGOs from all over Greece can showcase, and communicate their programs, objectives and needs to a wider audience. It is especially important to note that every year despite the difficult economic situation of Greece, a significant number of NGO’s achieve new collaborations and financial support from the Greek and Greek American Leaders that participate in our Forum. Through the internationalized profile of Capital Link, all Greek NGO’s , SMEs & Start-up Companies will be promoted not only to Greece but also to the Greek diaspora.

    Given the difficult economic situation of Greece, a new concept was introduced to the 5th Annual Capital Link CSRinGreece Conference of Corporate Social Responsibility, entitled "Entrepreneurship - Innovation - Society ", which was held in Athens, on June 2015. The Forum aimed to showcase how the Greek Economy can be reinforced by supporting Entrepreneurship and Innovation and to provide a practical guide to entrepreneurs on where and how they can get support for their business ventures. The Forum presented a range of programs and initiatives that are offered by companies and organizations in Greece and abroad which aim to support and fund new and small & medium-sized enterprises.
