The Community Investment Guide presents the legal framework, explaining the importance of community investments and providing statistical data regarding this issue on a global level as well as in Romania, while also incorporating several recommendations concerning each step of the process for defining and implementing the investment in community policy: from criteria establishment, and partners’ selection, to project management, monitoring, evaluation and reporting. The guide also aims to support economic actors, from large companies to state enterprises and small and medium enterprises ("SMEs"), who understand that social responsibility is not a cost, but a strategic investment in the community, in the company and in its employees.
