In 2009, the Norwegian government published the whitepaper “Corporate Social Responsibility in a Global Economy”. The purpose of this white paper is to raise awareness about social responsibility in both the private and the public sectors. The Government has a positive impression of Norwegian companies’ ability and willingness to contribute in this area, and the white paper is intended to strengthen this commitment.

A Matter of Trust

The Confederation of Norwegian Enterprise (NHO) has made a guide to corporate responsibility called A Matter of Trust. The publication gives many good hands-on examples of how CSR can be done in the real life, through specific businesses in Norway and elsewhere in the world.

The purpose of this guide is to motivate leaders and employees in the private sector to integrate corporate responsibility into business practice by clarifying what corporate responsibility is and why it is important for business. The guide also includes proposals for how to work with corporate responsibility in a systematic manner. The guide has been developed with small and medium-sized enterprises in mind, but can be equally relevant for larger businesses. The guide provides a brief introduction to the topic. You will find more information, guidance material and case studies on NHO’s website: www.nho.no/samfunnsansvar
