The Chamber of Commerce, Industry, Handicrafts and Services of the Canton of Ticino (CC-Ti), in collaboration with SUPSI and the Department of Finance and Economy (DFE), has developed a simplified CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) reporting model.

The CSR report is a document that collects a company’s best practices, providing a framework to report on economic performance, social impact, and environmental responsibility.

Completing this report also allows the company to obtain a valid document for compliance with the LCPubb. If a declaration of conformity is available and the report has been published (i.e. at least 15 points have been achieved), it can be used as proof to reach Swisstainable Level II – engaged (in combination with another recognised certification).
