I hope that such a comprehensive approach will help the Conference reach useful conclusions, and more importantly, put them in effect in the future. Last, but by no means the least, I would like to emphasize the importance of the media, which play a very important control function in the whole process” – said Crown Princess Katherine closing the second panel, “Media: Socially responsible reporting vs. business interests of the publishers”.In addition to the HRH Crown Princess Katherine the conference participants were addressed by Michel Saint-Lot, Director of the UNICEF Office in the Republic of Serbia, Sasa Mirkovic, State Secretary at the Ministry of Culture and Information, Danica Smic, the oldest volunteer of the Red Cross, Budimir Plavsic, the Ministry of Agriculture and Environmental Protection, Vladimir Marinkovic, Vice President of the National Assembly of the Republic of Serbia and others.

Њено Краљевско
Височанство Принцеза Катарина присуствовала је конференцији “ЦСР Србија:
Изазови корпоративне друштвене одговорности” у организацији Колор прес групе
која је одржана у хотелу Краун Плаза у Београду.
Идеја
конференције је да се помогне промоција активности које компаније, организације
и појединци спроводе у домену (корпоративне) друштвене одговорности.
Конференција је имала пет панела, теме
панела су биле „Друштвено одговорно понашање: Улога државе”, “ Медији:
Друштвено одговорно извештавање вс. пословни интереси издавача”, “Од Давида до
Голијата: Ко је све у Србији друштвено одговоран и како то ради”, “Људи и
звери: Колико смо друштвено одговорни према животињама” и тема петог панела је
била “Чему служе и како раде фондације”.
Принцеза Катарина
се обратила присутним учесницима конференције и истакла „Велико ми је
задовољство и част да се обратим учесницима конференције “Изазови корпоративне
друштвене одговорности”. Појам корпоративне друштвене одговорност је релативно
нов у нашем речнику и нашем свакодневном животу, али веома значајан. Сматрам да
је од великог значаја то што на конференцији заједно учествују представници
успешних компанија, државе и јавног сектора, медија и фондација. Надам се да ће
овакав свеобухватни приступ помоћи да се на конференцији дође до корисних
закључака, и још важније, да се они у будућности спроведу у дело. На послетку,
али никако не и на последњем месту желела бих да истакнем значај медија, који
имају веома важну контролну функцију у целом процесу ” – изјавила је Принцеза
Катарина и на тај начин затворила други панел “Медији: Друштвено одговорно
извештавање насупрот пословног интереса издавача”
