| The Swedish Sustainable Business Launch | |
Björling attended the launch of the Swedish Sustainable Business Community in Turkey organized by the Corporate Social Responsibility Association of Turkey and Kadir Has University in Istanbul. Björling said Turkey was very important for the EU in reaching the rest of the world, especially the Middle East, noting its access to important markets in all directions. “Turkey is a huge and important country with a society of 75 million people. More countries must realize that it is necessary to restart the EU negotiations [with Turkey] again; both parties need to come back to the table and continue. You should not give up, that is my message both for the EU and Turkey,” Björling said. llllllllllllllll |

 The formation and practices of businesses can significantly affect environmental issues, climate change, health, education, human rights and labor rights. The practice of CSR is to engage business sectors voluntarily with these factors in mind, seeking to create a new paradigm.
