Presentation transcript:

CSR in Georgia: Main sectors and challenges Heidi Eterovic United Nations Development Programme CSR Workshop for South Causasian NGOs Tbilisi, March 11, 2009.

Overview of Georgia Very liberal economic policy High levels of foreign direct investment Poor development of domestic private sector The government refuses to engage Lack of dialogue among sectors The public not influencing gov’t policy Limited impact of NGOs and media

Which means that: The bar for companies set very low No pressure for compliance from the Gov’t No mobilized public

So, why do it? PR tool Reputation Progressive management Orientation towards external markets

The leaders Tradition: charitable giving Leading sectors: telecommunications, banking services, international companies The most interesting sectors: agriculture, retail, extractives, forestry, services

Opportunities for collaboration Community programs Consumer protection, product quality and safety Promotion of local products / services Recycling / environmental protection Policy dialogue / coalitions Education Employee engagement?
