    Entities

    This project was co-funded by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) and the Ministry of Education, Lifelong Learning and Religion, while its implementation was undertaken by CSR HELLAS in partnership with the Athens University of Economics and Business.

Project Goals

One of the main objectives of the program was the assessment of the impact that the implementation of CSR practices has on the competitiveness of SMEs.
