Abstract
The Conference on CSR in Europe - Latin America and the Caribbean: “The Best of Two Worlds” gathered a large number of business leaders, practitioners, government officials, NGOs, academics, and civil society representatives from both regions. The main goal of the conference was to strengthen the exchange of CSR experiences in the countries of Europe, Latin America and the Caribbean in order to explore what companies can learn from each other in the CSR field. Through case presentations the conference highlighted bi-regional experiences and approaches to CSR. Focus was on: 1) global versus local CSR strategies; 2) how to overcome cultural differences; 3) CSR alliances among different types of organisations in Europe and Latin America and the Caribbean; and 4) perspectives for further cooperation and exchange of experiences between the two regions
