TÁRKI was the Hungarian partner in the World Bank research on Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), which was supported by a grant from the European Commission's Directorate-General for Employment and Social Affairs. The research focused on the attitudes of the 500 biggest companies - both state and privately owned - towards the concept of CSR. The work has contributed to our understanding of CSR practices and has been important to World Bank activities supporting development in the countries of Central and Eastern Europe.
Results have been presented in a conference organized jointly by the European Comission and the World Bank (Brussel, Belgium February 20, 2006). "What Does Business Think About Corporate Social Responsibility in the New Member States?"
