social initiative for employers Explanation: I don't know if this is the correct term, but I did find this in an official EU document: Campaña de sensibilización socioempresarial Awareness-raising campaign for employers In your case however, I feel it would be necessary to introduce the word social, unless you can introduce that concept elsewhere in the sentence.
