CEEP-CSR Label 2016 – A New Start

CEEP launched today (21 December 2015) the 2016 edition of the CEEP-CSR Label. All providers of public services can apply for the Label, which aims at awarding enterprises and organisations providing Services of General Interest with outstanding Corporate Social Responsibility commitments. The Label is a tool for those awarded to benchmark their actions in CSR and compare them with those of other providers in Europe.

Applicants will go through a 3-stage process:

1. Self-assessment tool, to be realised online on the website www.ceepcsrlabel.eu;
2. Evaluation of the application by external experts, based on additional information sent by applicants who successfully passed the first stage;
3. Selection of the awarded enterprises by an independent jury and awarding process.

“Providers and employers of public services and SGIs do more than just fulfil their duties. The CEEP CSR Label is a token of the strong and positive impact that they can also have on the social and environmental aspects of society” explained Valeria Ronzitti, CEEP General Secretary.

Since 2008, more than 100 enterprises have been awarded. The CEEP-CSR Label has contributed to raising their corporate image, also increasing their chances in tendering processes.
During the last edition of 2014, 74 enterprises completed the online self-assessment and 24 received the CEEP-CSR Label during an Awarding Ceremony held in October.
