Corporate Social Responsibility (MVO Nederland)

Corporate social responsibility (CSR) is the new, essential standard for
enterprise in the twenty-first century. CSR benefits people, society and the
environment. But that is not all. CSR – sustainable enterprise – pays dividends.
In all corporate decisions the enterprise strives for better results for people,
the environment and itself. CSR creates added value for all stakeholders in an
enterprise.

For an entrepreneur, sustainable enterprise means going one step further
than the law requires, inspired by a future vision of society. Internationally
agreed standards such as the OECD guidelines form a basis for responsible
international business.

The Dutch government has clear expectations of the
business community when it comes to international CSR, starting with compliance with
the OE CD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises. This code of conduct
for the international business community has the support of all the OECD
member states, and a growing number of other countries.

CSR Netherlands is a starting point and guide for entrepreneurs in the Netherlands in the
area of corporate social responsibility.
