ABOUT THE EVENT / 活动简介

The European Union Chamber of Commerce in China, a champion of corporate social responsibility for over twenty years, is proud to announce the launch of their 2023 CSR Awards.

In 2022, the 9th Annual CSR Award Ceremony honored international and Chinese business and organization leaders, CSR experts, and government representatives from across China. Nine winners were selected and commended for their exceptional commitment to creating a positive social and environmental impact.

The goal of the CSR Awards is to celebrate organizations dedicated to excellent corporate responsibility in China, highlight innovative and environmentally sustainable products and services, and inspire others to ethical action.

The European Chamber in Nanjing invites companies and organizations to submit their applications and demonstrate their leadership in Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). This year marks the 10th anniversary of this very special European Chamber event! Our November 2023 ceremony will provide an excellent chance to promote your brands before hundreds of attendees, all of whom will be there to celebrate your achievements.

Stay tuned for details on the upcoming awards program.
