EU is a long timechampion in green policies, but at the moment also divided on the issue of reductiontargets for CO2.

Because stillmore consumers aredemanding that companiesthink sustainability in theircore business. CSR windowdressing – for instance bybragging that yourorganization is savingpaper or tuning off thelights – will no longerimpress. Only whencompanies start thinkingCSR and sustainability aspart of theirproduct/service deliverieswill consumers payattention.Overall, consumers willchoose companies whichnot only think shareholdermanagement, butstakeholder management.Consumers demand thatcompanies activelyacknowledge and supportthe community in whichthey operate.You might call this a trueparadigm shift which calls
