Response to the European Commission’s Consultation on the EU Anti-Poverty Strategy (APS)
CEC European Managers welcomes the opportunity to contribute to the European Commission’s consultation on the future EU Anti-Poverty Strategy (APS).
As a recognised European social partner, we represent the voice of managers and executives who are committed to responsible leadership, quality employment and social cohesion.
Leaders and managers are not typically among those at risk of poverty, yet they play a crucial role in shaping the European labour market.
They recruit and support workers, design inclusive workplaces and balance economic performance with social responsibility.
Because of this position, they are directly involved in the conditions that determine whether work truly helps people out of poverty.
CEC European Managers therefore strongly supports the Commission’s initiative to make poverty prevention a shared European priority.
We believe that effective poverty reduction depends on investing in people, promoting quality employment and empowering responsible management.
