The CSR Centre Deed of Trust was formally signed at the Bangladesh Enterprise Institute (BEI) in the city Tuesday.
The eight executors of the Trust include corporate and non-corporate members, said a press release. The Trust has been formed to set up a CSR centre in Bangladesh, which will be launched formally on September 5 this year.
With a view to creating corporate social responsibility (CSR) as a key strategy for corporate excellence in the country to maximise stakeholders' benefit, the centre aims to be the leading provider of complete solutions to CSR business needs in Bangladesh.
The Centre's primary objective is to become the principal source of information, resources and advisory services on CSR in Bangladesh. The Centre, set up with private sector start-up funding, will serve as an institutional champion to facilitate, expand and encourage CSR practice in the country's private sector.
The CSR Centre defines CSR as a set of business practices based on ethical norms and transparency that contributes to sustainable development of internal and external stakeholders in the interest of business, society and environment.
