25 Providers of Public Services Awarded with the CEEP CSR Label

On 14 November 2016, 25 enterprises providing public services and services of general interests have been awarded the CEEP CSR Label. The awarding ceremony was held at the Caisse des Dépôts et Consignations (member of CEEP France) in Paris, and organised with CEEP France. A compendium of practices and enterprises awarded was also circulated at this occasion - download below.

“This label is a demonstration that public services’ providers in Europe do more than fulfilling their services. They are also particularly conscious and active when it comes to positively impacting the society and the environment,” said Valeria Ronzitti, CEEP General Secretary.
Pascal Bolo, President of CEEP France, also emphasised the importance of CSR for public services’ enterprises and organisations. “CSR is part of their DNA, as public services’ enterprises and organisations combine the private interests and management practices and the values of the public. They answer the call for modernity and efficiency with a positive vision, favoring long-term views and perspectives and not only looking for short-term benefits. Those enterprises also use primarily local resources and contribute to jobs creation.”

Corporate social responsibility is a key element for the management of public services. For this reason, in 2008, CEEP created the CEEP-CSR Label in 2008. It was created to answer the need of enterprises providing public services to be recognised for their activities in the field of CSR, without label dedicated to public services’ providers.
