Promoting CSR Concepts and Principles in the Armenian Business Environment

BSC conducted a series of training sessions addressed for companies and institutions in the public, private and non-governmental sectors. The training program aimed at presenting CSR principles, challenges and adoption procedures.

The project concept was that supply chain players could behave in a responsible way throughout their operational chains and thus contribute to the sustainable development of the sub sectors (the following three main sub sectors were targeted: honey, tomato and milk production).
