About Yearbooks

The idea of launching the first EuroCharity Yearbook germinated when Greece faced an environmental and social crisis of unprecedented dimensions – devastating forest fires. The inaugural "EuroCharity Yearbook 2007 - The Spirit of the Forest - The response of the corporate world to the catastrophic fires of 2007" was published in June 2008.

A year later, the EuroCharity Yearbook 2008 on Sustainability and Green Development, was released. It focused on the impact of green economy on competitiveness, entrepreneurship and innovation, by showcasing green products and services developed by companies as well as policies and incentives that foster investments and initiatives in the green economy.

The third "EuroCharity Yearbook 2009 - It's a matter of culture" was launched in June 2010 and highlighted the importance and many aspects of corporate culture and the need of companies to adopt values, vision and mission that include corporate responsibility principles along with their business strategy.

The "EuroCharity Yearbook 2010 - The Future of Responsible Investing", which came out in June 2011, informed key stakeholders on the latest trends, research, indices, best practices, case studies, intelligence and viewpoints related to this important theme. This international publication was presented in three European capital cities.

The "EuroCharity Yearbook 2011/12 - Leadership for Sustainability" addressed the need to adopt sustainability in leadership training and development, showcased corporate sustainability leadership best practices and presented authoritative opinions and insightful research findings on the progress and challenges in leadership for sustainability.
