The Commission is preparing a communication on corporate social responsibility, basically a Green Paper, and discussions will start in June. However, let me say quite clearly that the principle on which the Green Paper is based is that any action relating to corporate social responsibility, any corporate social action, has nothing to do with compliance with current legislation, which is taken for granted. When we talk of corporate social responsibility and of new action, we are talking about greater investment in human resources, in the environment, in the social environment and in the immediate vicinity by which, of course, we mean over and above their obligations under the law. I should like to make it clear that, as far as the legislation is concerned, it sets out the minimum standards with which companies must comply. As far as the logic of corporate social responsibility is concerned, it refers to higher standards which form the basis on which corporate operations are developed."@en1
