New: CSRlexicon for companies, organizations & CSR stakeholders

Reference work provides practical knowledge and background information for corporate responsibility

What is "corporate responsibility" all about and what is behind the abbreviation "CSR"? What risks does "palm oil" entail and how is a "Code of Conduct" created? The new encyclopedia from "CSR News" and "CSR Magazin" provides answers to these and similar questions. The freely accessible reference work at www.csr-knowledge.net provides practical information on terms, methods and players in the field of corporate social responsibility (CSR).

The CSR lexicon is aimed in particular at designers in small and medium-sized companies who want to do business responsibly. The articles explain the relevant topics and terms and introduce key players and networks. Further links to practical aids and examples, current news from "CSR News" and literature references facilitate a more in-depth discussion.

Over 50 CSR experts from academia, companies and NGOs have created the first 100 encyclopedia articles, and the project will be continuously updated and supplemented with further topics and terms. The encyclopedia project is run by the non-profit organization "Unternehmen ? Responsibility ? Gesellschaft", which is also behind the specialist medium "CSR News".

You can find the new "CSRlexicon" at: www.csr-knowledge.net
