To seriously accelerate sustainable trade, we need to increase the number of people and organizations involved. We have many companies who excel in sustainability. But we also need to convince more mainstream companies - both large and small...There are four main topics I want to discuss today with you: Firstly, the importance of Corporate Social Responsibility; Secondly, what my government is doing; Thirdly, what individual companies can do; And I will end with a plea to our social partners to help mainstream companies speed up CSR.
