"Mr President, I supported the report because European business enterprises are of especially great importance in international trade. We always have to act in accordance with European values and international social and labour standards, even in third countries.
Corporate social responsibility is only useful as a voluntary exercise if consumers are given reliable and accurate information on the activities of companies, the origin of products and the conditions under which goods are produced and sold. Certificates, brands and standards are important for consumers, and image and reputation are directly linked to a company’s success. In the age of social media, it is difficult to hide information from consumers on a company’s practices abroad.
Responsible entrepreneurship is always the backbone of competitiveness and successful business. The European Union, too, must be a pioneer in the promotion of social standards. I think that the notion of corporate responsibility should be included in all EU policy and trade agreements."@en1
