Churches, trade unions and civil society in Central & Eastern Europe call for greater corporate responsibility26. 10. 2006 - (Ekumenická akademie Praha ) -A conference of churches, trade unions and other civil society organisations that ended in Prague, Czech Republic, on Saturday 21 October stressed the need for more corporate responsibility to ensure equitable and sustainable development in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE). Delegates from 18 countries - including Albania, Belarus, the Czech Republic, France, Germany, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Poland, Romania, the UK and the USA - concluded two days of workshops and discussions on social and environmental challenges facing business and communities in the CEE region by calling for concerted stakeholder action to promote higher standards of social and environmental behaviour from companies. The event was funded by the European Union, hosted by the Ecumenical Academy Prague and jointly organised with the Work & Economy Network in the European Churches and the UK-based Ecumenical Council for Corporate Responsibility (ECCR). Participants included churches and church investors, trade unions, NGOs, and research, educational and academic institutions. Closing the meeting, Dr Jiri Silny, Director of the Ecumenical Academy Prague, said: “Company managers, workers, consumers, public authorities and civil society need to act as equal partners to protect our common social and environmental interests.” Speakers had pointed out that social and environmental regulations were routinely ignored in the CEE region – let alone the higher standards necessary for a more equitable and sustainable economic system. Delegates included representatives of the Conference of European Churches, UK Church Investors Group, International Interfaith Investment Group, Oikocredit (Netherlands), Protestant Academy Meissen (Germany), Lutheran Church of Latvia, Romanian Orthodox Church, the Trade Union Advisory Committee to the OECD, and the US Interfaith Center on Corporate Responsibility. During the conference, Zdenek Malek of the Czech Trade Union Chamber warned of countries lowering their corporate responsibility standards in competition for foreign direct investment. Participants agreed to continue working together as churches, trade unions, ethical investors and civil society actors to promote Europe-wide progress on corporate responsibility and capacity- building in CEE countries.
