43-1 Responsible growth: Action Plan for Corporate Social Responsibility 2012-2015

Summary

This action plan does not only look at the companies and their business interests in implementing social responsibility. It is the Government’s ambition that both human and natural resources in Denmark should be used in a way that is both sustainable and competitive. This applies nationally as well as internationally. Social responsibility is therefore about ensuring that growth and responsibility go hand in hand, creating shared value for both companies and society. This task involves the Danish business sector, the public sector, as well as civil society.
