Objectives:
  • Increased awareness among labour market actors (state, employers, and trade unions) of the benefits of sound national and sector CSR policies and strategies for a right-based economic and social development.
  • Rights-based and business promoting CSR guidelines developed by major employer and trade union organisations in the Philippines are applied in enterprises.
