If you, as researcher or practitioner, are involved in a FP6 project, EABIS encourages you to respond to the consultation indicating your top concerns and suggestions for future EU research framework improvements.

The overall objective of the research program was to support organisations in their efforts to translate and implement the notion of CSR within a business environment. Moreover it aimed to clarify for government and other external stakeholders what they can expect from companies as they ‘translate’ CSR into daily activities related to the business.

The nine projects cover the following issues:

1. Dutch CSR and its European context
2. The implementation processes of CSR
3. CSR as collective competencies
4. Life conviction and CSR
5. CSR and the globalisation of society
6. Strategic development of the dialogue with stakeholders
7. Development of CSR through the eyes of NGO’s
8. Legislative operationalisation of a relatively vague framework of norms
9. Steering on added value

After completion of the research for each of the projects an overview article was written covering the backgrounds, theory, methodology and main outcomes. These articles are brought together in this volume.
