In SMEs there is a large need to increase an awareness of a strategic and long-term Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) concept and to educate owners and managers implementing CSR in their own companies. Individual elements of social responsibility are already addressed in various further educational trainings. However, a comprehensive further education and consulting programme for SMEs is non-existent. Research and teaching have been intensively involved in the CSR in large corporations. There is a deficiency of SME-specific concepts concerning the perception of social responsibility.On the basis of existing best practices, a comprehensive CSR training and advisory programme will be created specifically for SMEs and tested in practice by two project partners in Germany and Poland. After an appropriate revision, the CSR concept will be transferred to up to 50 chambers and 15 universities and colleauges in 9 Baltic Sea Region states and in the case implemented there; trainers will be trained and a lasting implementation for SMEs with widespread impact will be ensured.
