Businesses can effectively help addressing nowadays challenges such as climate change and unfair labour conditions in developing countries. On the other hand, social responsibility contributes to business competitiveness and can lead to higher earning. Research (Gallup, 2005) has shown that six out of ten Danish businesses face CSR requirements arising from their surroundings.

Therefore, the Danish government has set up a CSR Action Plan that comprises of four key areas:

• Propagating business-driven social responsibility

  • CSR disclosure of large companies; and of institutional investors and trusts; awareness activities; Social Responsibility Council; activities engaging businesses on a voluntary basis…-;

• Promoting businesses’ social responsibility through government activities

  • Responsible procurement; CSR of State-Owned Enterprises; state funds responsible management…-;

• Corporate climate responsibility

• Marketing Denmark for responsible growth

  • This is part of a larger overarching action plan for global marketing that aims at promoting Denmark as a responsible country, socially and environmentally.

In 2012, an evaluation the CSR action plan will be undertaken.
