Flower Power Spring Party 11. 5. 2010

On Tuesday, 11 May we organized the already fourth Flower Power Spring Party, this time again in the Žofín Garden, Prague. Located on one of the islands in the Vltava River, and with its impressive atmosphere and our beautiful flower decoration, it seems to be an ideal venue for celebrating the coming spring.

The event was opened by the President of the Chamber, Rolf-Jan Zweep. Then also the new Ambassador, H. E. Jan C. Henneman, welcomed the participants, and introduced the Dutch policy in Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) to us, for the CSR is traditionally the keynote theme of the Flower Power Spring Party. The Ambassador then invited Karel Schwarzenberg, Senator and Chairman of the TOP 09 Party, to share his view on responsibility of individuals and companies with us. Thereafter, Klára Šplíchalová from the Czech Donors Forum, and Lenka Čábelová from PricewaterhouseCoopers ČR provided us with their feedback from our common CSR project Promoting Good Entrepreneurship. The programme was closed by an enjoyable musical performance presented by the violin virtuoso Alexander Shonert.

Misja den Haan, Secretary General, then invited the guests to enjoy the rest of the evening in the company of their current and potential business partners, while tasting the delicious refreshments prepared by Zátiší Group.

To conclude, we would like to thank the participants for creating such a great atmosphere and spending this pleasant evening with us, our sponsors PricewaterhouseCoopers, TNT Express, Shell and Ahold for their generous support, and our partners Žofín Garden, Unilever (Algida), Heineken and the Netherlands Embassy for their in kind support.
