Baku, 8 May 2009 – Though oil and gas revenues contributed to Azerbaijan's rapid economic growth lately, the development of the non-oil sector is currently seen by the Government as an urgent task. “Business development of recent years has led to a situation when businesses, especially in the non-oil sector, feeling themselves sufficiently comfortable, are dealing not only with solely business matters, but have also started to take up some social responsibilities.” The process of application of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) principles by businesses in Azerbaijan’s non-oil sector coincided with the launch by the United Nations of a project promoting the Global Compact in the country, stressed Rahim Huseynov, President of the Azerbaijan Export & Investment Promotion Foundation (AZPROMO), in his opening remarks at a business lunch with top managers of key businesses operating in the country, organized today jointly with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). 
Baku, 4-5 December 2008 - The corporate social responsibility gives the private sector an opportunity to demonstrate that it makes economic growth deliver more to the citizens of the world - sustainable development that is good for people and for the environment. “The private sector is the biggest creator of employment and wealth. Corporate social responsibility is an opportunity for the private sector to show that it is a responsible global citizen that delivers more than economic growth” – said the UN Resident Coordinator, UNDP Resident Representative in Azerbaijan Bruno Pouezat launching on December 4, 2008 a series of events aiming at further promotion of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) in the country. UNDP’s Global Compact project were joined in this effort by Eurasia Partnership Foundation and Azerbaijan Export & Investment Promotion Foundation (AZPROMO).

Baku, 24 June 2008 – “Globalization has delivered an extraordinary increase in purchasing power to people in rich and poor countries over the past couple of decades. Instead of being credited for its efficiency in creating jobs all over the world or decreasing costs and making goods available to all of us all over the world, globalization is generally perceived and described as a bad thing.
