Project description: The conference aimed to connect the business and non-governmental sectors to promote corporate social responsibility (CSR) as a powerful tool for driving social change. It brought together businesses, NGOs, and other stakeholders to raise awareness about CSR, highlight the importance of philanthropy as both a way of giving back to society and a strategic marketing tool, and encourage joint efforts in addressing pressing social issues.

Key objectives included sharing successful CSR practices from Macedonia and abroad, providing research-based strategies for effective implementation, and fostering dialogue on the role of philanthropy in modern business. The event also served as a platform to build a sustainable network between the private sector, civil society, and institutions, laying the foundation for future cooperation. By promoting socially responsible business models, the conference aimed to strengthen partnerships that contribute to community development and long-term social impact.
