(ANSAmed) - NAPLES, JUNE 17 - "We're starting from Naples to
relaunch unitary work for a path of sustainable growth that sees
the Mediterranean as the protagonist of a development model that
holds together the demands of business and their social
responsibility," said Georges Dassis, president of the European
Economic and Social Committee (EESC) at the 4th edition of the
Mediterranean Fair on Shared Social Responsibility in Naples.
"It's a job that must be done together with national States,
to face the great question of migrants and refugees in the
poorer countries," Dassis said.
During the expo, in fact, participants signed the "Naples
Charter", a programmatic declaration to connect business and
shared social responsibility. The charter will be the foundation
of the proposal for the constitution of the Mediterranean Social
Responsibility Forum, a platform for exchange, promotion and
consistent programming with direction from the European
Commission and the EESC.
"The union between businesses, unions, and social
associations that we represent will be a determining factor for
new policies in the European Union. A change that the Naples
Charter launched here will be important for the future of the
Mediterranean," Dassis said.
Sergio Piazzi, secretary-general of the Parliamentary
Assembly of the Mediterranean (PAM), said, "The support of the
Naples Charter by Mediterranean parliaments aims to reshape the
near future of the countries that face our sea. Important
challenges await us, and Naples has all the characteristics to
be a strategic place in the redefinition of a model of
sustainable development that must concretely ensure business and
labour".
The fair's president, Raffaella Papa, said the objective of
the scenarios, strategies and determining tools is "to create a
culture of sustainability that goes beyond just philanthropic
features to activate real processes that determine a capacity to
conduct responsible business".(ANSAmed).
