Addressing sustainability
• Firstly seriously discussed in the 1980s
• Led by the United Nations
• Focus on critical issues of environment and development
• Strengthen international cooperation
• Population, food security, the loss of species and genetic resources, energy, industry, and human settlements are all interrelated

Finding the right balance…
We should strive to maintain a delicate balance between our need to improve lifestyles and feeling of well-being on one hand, and preserving natural resources and ecosystems, on which we and future generations depend on the other hand.
Improvement of lifestyles
and well-being

Preserving natural
resources and

• Companies focus on contributing to long-term societal well-being in which everybody can develop and grow.

CSR towards a new approach?
CSR can only be resilient if it is part of the DNA of an organisation, i.e. CSR will only survive the vagaries of fickle markets, fluctuating profits, financial crises and leadership whims if it is totally embedded in the corporate culture, strategy and governance systems”

Let’s start from the very beginning....
Porter and Kramer How to reinvent capitalism – and unleash a wave of innovation and growth

Companies must bring business and society back together
• Shared value – creating economic value in a way that also creates value for society by addressing its needs and challenges.
• “Business must reconnect company success with social progress.”
