The "National Action Plan for Corporate Social Responsibility in the Czech Republic" is a document approved by the Czech government. Its version for the period 2016 - 2018 continues to be the strategic and open material of non—legislative nature.

The Government is aware of the fact that the corporate social responsibility (CSR) is highly relevant topic not only for the big companies but also for small and medium—sized enterprises in the regions, their employees and the community around them as well as for the public administration. It takes dialogue and cooperation between the CSR stakeholders as essential for ensuring the coherence of procedures and obtaining feedback and for further development of social responsibility in the Czech Republic.

The main objectives of the updated "National Action Plan for Corporate Social Responsibility in the Czech Republic” include:

  • Enhancing the understanding and credibility of the concept of social responsibility in the society.
  • Supporting the development of social responsibility in organizations.
  • Sharing experience and transfer of international know—how.

The Czech government will thus endeavour to ensure that the updated "National Action Plan for Corporate Social Responsibility in the Czech Republic” get into the awareness of the Czech society and lead not only the companies to a responsible and sustainable undertaking.

Further document updates will be submitted to the government for approval in September 2018.
