"Madam President, the Green Paper presents companies and society as a whole with a real challenge, aiming as it does to inform all our efforts to improve our economic performance, update our social model and promote European values of social solidarity and responsibility. The purpose of the Green Paper is to clarify – and we agree here – that the correlation between economic activity and success must promote social responsibility which, in turn, will contribute to the ongoing success of the company and help revive the economy and society. So it is important to persuade companies, the two sides of industry and society as a whole to look on social responsibility as a long-term strategy, rather than an occasional activity. This strategy must be bound up with the quality of women's employment and women's professional integration and careers, because these are objectives which have been recognised as instrumental in achieving the strategic targets set in Lisbon. So we believe that this policy should be based on information, increased awareness, voluntary action and a sense of responsibility. All the measures implemented must make provision for the law to be applied and for the on equal rights for men and women to be incorporated; but they must also make provision for something more, which has to do with initiatives to help reconcile family and working life, to make sure women are fully involved in designing and implementing company policy and to enhance the image of women. Similarly, we believe that the forum being proposed by the European Parliament should give serious consideration both to these issues and to involving women in its work."@en1
