Roundtable
NPO Meeting
4:10 - 5:15PM | 24 June 2025
Context
As the European Union embarks on its new legislative term (2024–2029), a more pragmatic approach to sustainability policies is crucial, with a focus on effectively integrating sustainability and competitiveness.
In response to this need, CSR Europe launched the European CSO Network in 2024. Looking back over the past five years, during which the EU primarily employed a top-down approach to sustainability regulations—often lacking sufficient support or incentives for businesses to not only comply but to exceed these standards—the CSO Network has maintained an ongoing dialogue with policymakers over the past year. This effort aims to ensure the development of pragmatic and effective policy frameworks supporting a smoother transition to sustainable practices while fostering long-term market leadership.
