A key challenge for businesses and society
CSR, sustainable development lived at the level of companies, has been identified as a key challenge at the dawn of the Green Deal and the climatic and societal challenges facing the world (global warming, loss of biodiversity, depletion of natural resources, increasing inequalities, etc.).
As a founding member in 2007 of the Institut National pour le Développement durable et la Responsabilité sociale des entreprises (INDR), the Chamber of Commerce has been actively involved for years in promoting CSR at all levels of society and in its internal organisation, and has been supporting Luxembourg companies in their transition towards more sustainable operating models.
The 4 pillars of our CSR strategy
The CSR strategy of the Chamber of Commerce is based on four pillars corresponding to the main strategic priorities of the Chamber of Commerce:
- Go CSR: Sustainable Business

Partnerships and actions aimed at contributing positively to the development of society. - People

CSR labels
