Luxembourg's Institut national pour le développement durable et la responsabilité sociale des entreprises (INDR) recently awarded 28 companies in the Grand Duchy with ESR (Entreprise socialement responsable - corporate social rensposibility) labels, bring the total number of labelled companies in the Grand Duchy to 128.
The 12th official ceremony awarding ESR labels took place on Friday 25 November 2016 at the Chambre de Commerce in Luxembourg-Kirchberg, in the presence of Nicolas Schmit, Luxembourg's Minister of Labour.
Themed by the European Commission as a vital issue, corporate social responsibility (CSR) is becoming an essential strategic tool for business leaders. CSR is an opportunity for each company to improve governance, strengthen its social commitment and to limit its environmental impact. The company ensures its own sustainability while contributing to sustainable development.
ESR labeled companies have realised the benefits of CSR that provides a real competitive advantage by improving the company's reputation; its ability to attract and retain employees and customers; commitment, motivation and productivity of employees; and relationships with suppliers, governments, competitors, the media, NGOs, i.e. with the society in which companies operate.
