On December 9, 2025, the AEB Public Relations and Communications Committee met. The meeting was held in a hybrid format: online and at the AEB office.

At the event, Tatyana Bachinskaya, Director of the ANO "Center for Philanthropy Development 'Soprichastnost'" and Editor-in-Chief of the "Business and Society" portal, delivered a presentation. She presented a professional resource dedicated to corporate social responsibility (CSR), sustainable development, and social entrepreneurship. The portal serves as a platform for dialogue between businesses, government, NGOs, and experts, offering a knowledge base, best practices, news, research, and event announcements.

Participants emphasized that CSR remains highly relevant for companies in 2025. It is no longer viewed as a set of one-off initiatives but as an integral part of corporate strategy, influencing reputation, stakeholder trust, employee engagement, and long-term business resilience. Companies continue to strengthen their systematic approach to social projects and responsible business practices.

The meeting concluded with the identification of key priorities for the Committee’s work in 2025–2026.
