On 30 November, the VI Development Initiation Forum will be held at the Olivia Sky Club in Olivia Business Centre. The theme of the Forum will be “Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) – 7 areas for cooperation!”
“This year we are going to talk about commitment and responsibility. We will be invited to reflect outstanding personalities from the world of science and business, prof. esp. Ph.D. Cezary Obracht Prondzyński from the University of Gdańsk and Ewa Sowińska from the National Council of Statutory Auditors. We will also be inspired by special guests: practitioners of corporate social responsibility (CSR). Our guests will refer to seven areas of this issue, showing practical tools for its implementation, i.e. Strategy, employee volunteering, internship programs, social economy, crowdsourcing. They will emphasise the particular importance of cross-sectoral dialogue and cooperation to achieve business and social goals. – says Monika Hinc, leader of the Forum.
– The Development Initiation Forum is a space that we build together for effective dialogue. We emphasize the importance of cooperation between representatives of three sectors for the sustainable development of our Region. For the past six years, we have been able to integrate various communities around the idea of social involvement. This is a very important topic for us as a Forum Partner – adds Magdalena Rzeszotalska, Magdalena Rzeszotalska, Chief Accounting Officer Corporate Communications and CSR of Polpharma S.A. – The Forum is a great opportunity to establish contacts and exchange good practices. It is an opportunity to be inspired by examples of unique initiatives and enrich your workshop with new tools – adds Monika Hinc.

DEVELOPMENT INITIATION FORUM
Over the last 6 years of the Development Initiation Forum’s activities, the cooperation of many people and organizations has allowed to achieve measurable results. We have built awareness of the role of dialogue between the business, local government and NGO sectors in the Pomeranian Voivodeship. People discuss, carry out joint activities. The topic has become important. We have created the largest Pomeranian event disseminating the idea and good practices of socially responsible business, including 5 editions and 1200 participants. We have built the only partner fund supporting sustainable development. We managed to donate a total amount of PLN 335,000 to the best cross-sectoral initiatives. We are building the first provincial Cross-Sectoral Network of Local Cooperation through m.in. 8 meetings, business consulting. We initiated the Socially Engaged Company competition promoting the CSR achievements of small businesses (2 completed editions).
