CRS has been chosen as a strategic focus area of the Research & Development & Innovation (RDI) unit of the School of Business and Services Management (JAMK) and, consequently the RDI unit supports and assists companies in developing their business, services and international networks in a responsible way. The RDI unit has recruited a CSR specialist to enhance project activities in this area.
The project 'Pioneers of Responsible Business in Central Finland' (2009-2010) developed environmental, social and economic responsibility in SMEs and produced a guide book of responsible business for local businesses.
