CSR Marketplace in Turkey before 19th November, CSR Marketplace in Ukraine

Have just returned from CSR Marketplace in Turkey which accidently and fortunately (:)) coincided with my birthday. Was extremely interesting event, within which 21 Turkish companies, among which were Vodaphone, Avea, Shell, Coca Cola, TEB Bank, etc, presented their CSR projects. Was impressed with companies' 5 years programs on CSR. And imagine, company has been implementing CSR program for 5 years. The winner was Vodaphone. To my opinion, it was mostly charitable project but at CSR Marketplace always the company wins which can present its project. Vodaphone team was capable in presentation. It was really great.

On 19th November first CSR marketplace will be in Ukraine. Now we try to register companies - but it's so difficult, companies or people in them do not want to take extra efforts to promote their companies. So will see which company in Ukraien is doing the most for society on 19th November
