OVERALL BUDGET 30.735 €

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Objectives
Crearse

Since the creation of the State Council of the Spanish Government for Corporate Social Responsibility, the Spanish government has become a firm supporter of CSR as a tool to enhance competitiveness. Funditec, aware of the need to improve CSR values among the business environment, designed the CREARSE project intended to make visible the efforts made by SMEs in this respect and in coherence with the strategic vision of public administration.

By means of the CREARSE project, Funditec developed a web site including variegated content related to Corporate Social Responsibility issues; this, allowed SMEs to implement CSR-related innovation and strategies in their strategies. The absence of a regulatory framework for CSR at the time, were the grounds to add a virtual space allowing companies to understand the benefits and opportunities posed by CSR and the various initiatives they could take in this regard.

With this in mind, the project had as its paramount objective the creation of a Cluster of CSR-sensitive Small and Medium Enterprises.
