EXPEDITIO is member of Network for Social Responsibility.

Network for Social Responsibility (Network SR) is formed under the project "Fostering dialogue and partnership for sustainable development between the Government and the business sector in Montenegro," which the Department for support to the National Council for Sustainable Development (Department for assistance NCSD) in the Ministry of sustainable Development and Tourism of the Government of Montenegro conducted in cooperation with the Agency NL in the Netherlands government.
