Recipients of “CSR Oscar” awards and certificates |
On February 22nd, the USAID Business Environment Activity co-organized the first ever Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) “Oscars” to recognize CSR leaders in Macedonia. TINEX, a major food chain company, received the top award for its program of offering employment to orphaned young adults.
The event, also sponsored by German NGO InWent, UNDP and the Ministry of Economy, was attended by over 100 representatives from the corporate sector, government and civil society. The awards recognized CSR leaders in the business community who have demonstrated commitment to goodwill, philanthropy and care about their employees. |

73 applications were submitted to the jury, with the majority representing social, ethical and environmental projects. 15 finalists were certified for good CSR practices, each receiving a “CSR Oscar” statuette. This initiative underscored the importance of the emerging concept of corporate social responsibility in Macedonia – an important drive of effective social programs in a competitive market economy. |
