The Forum of the Chambers of Commerce of the Adriatic and Ionian Area considers women entrepreneurship as one of the fundamental values for the social and economic development of the whole area.
With the Charter of Values, the Workgroup on Women Entrepreneurship intends to recognize and enhance the potential and values expressed by female enterprises.
The Charter of Values is a tool of Corporate Social Responsibility to "guide" women entrepreneurs towards a new approach in the evaluation of an enterprise, based not only in terms of economic production and the capacity of generating profits, but also in social and environmental terms. The focus is thus on ethics, responsibility and quality as factors of competitiveness, growth and development of enterprises.
