  30. CSR activities should be VOLUNTARY for companies. • Awareness campaigns should FOCUS ON REGIONS where companies have relatively less CSR knowledge and implementation. • Companies in Istanbul, Western Anatolia and Ankara have better awareness of CSR. • Foreign trade companies have better awareness of CSR and implement CSR projects. FOCUS ON DOMESTIC COMPANIES. • SMEs, especially medium sized companies are not well aware of CSR and the significance of CSR activities. TARGET SME’s. Conclusions and Recommendations I

  31. More than half of the surveyed companies are not aware of internationally recognised CSR initiatives. ADD MAIN CSR INITIATIVES IN TRAININGS. • Even if companies engage in CSR activities, they are not reporting such activities. REPORTING NEEDS SPECIAL ATTENTION. • Companies present willingness to participate in CSR trainings. PROVIDE FURTHER TRAININGS and FOCUS ON; • general information about CSR • human rights • the meaning of CSR and its advantages • information about responsibility towards employees and environment • introducing international standards • CSR project management. Conclusions and Recommendations II
