The main objective of the Regional CSR Network for Small Business is to assist SMEs in South, Central and Eastern Europe to conduct business in a socially and environmentally responsible and responsive manner, and to thereby promote their competitiveness and a better alignment with emerging consumer concerns.

By also serving as a platform to exchange experiences and information related to best practices in the area of CSR and small business among the countries in Central, South and Eastern Europe, the Network also acts as a catalyst to promote partnership building between public and private institutions within and across the region and to coordinate relevant SME initiatives.
