"Corporate Social Responsibility" is a concept whereby companies integrate social and environmental concerns in their business operations and in their interaction with their stakeholders on a voluntary basis. The Danish Commerce and Companies Agency (DCCA), under the Danish Ministry of Economic and Business Affairs, wish to show that by working strategically with CSR, companies can actually increase their competitiveness.
In 2007 the Danish Commerce and Companies Agency (DCCA) established the Danish Government Centre for CSR.
The primary aim of the Danish Government Centre for CSR is to encourage the use of business-driven, strategic CSR among Danish businesses. The centre coordinates and implements Government initiatives within the field of CSR, including initiatives in the Government's Action Plan on CSR. Also, the centre develops and communicates knowledge and tools for businesses and other parties with an interest in CSR.
