Arabia CSR Network Information

The Arabia CSR Network (ACSRN) is one of the very first pioneering multi-stakeholder platforms that engage small and large businesses and government institutions to strengthen their commitment to sustainable development across the Arab world. The Arabia CSR network also aims to bring into greater focus the local and regional efforts undertaken at the corporate and civil society levels to further the case of CSR in the Middle East. Under the slogan “Building Partnerships for a Sustainable Future” the Arabia CSR Network’s aim is to facilitate exchange of ideas and to forge lasting partnerships across sectors for an improved society based on UNGC’s ten principles for human rights, labor rights, the environment and anti-corruption. Based in the UAE, ACSRN aims to position the Arab region as a leader in Business Excellence and CSR by working in the areas of sustainability awards, research, training and more. Over the year it has grown into up to be one of the foremost CSR and sustainability related professional organizations in the Arab region. The ACSRN truly believes that companies that honestly and passionately practice CSR and sustainability can provide many services that can catalyze long-term and meaningful societal change and environmental preservation. Therefore, it encourages the organizations in the Middle East, North Africa and Levant region to go beyond the bottom-line approach and embed social, environmental and governance principles into their core operations.
