Having previously advised Norwegian companies not to operate in Myanmar, the Government is now encouraging them to do so. 
Fra å ha frarådet norske bedrifter å gå inn i Myanmar, oppmuntrer regjeringen nå til det.
The conference focused on what we can do to close the gap between international CSR principles and the practices of small- and medium-sized enterprises when operating abroad. 
Konferansen fokuserte på hvordan vi kan gjøre avstanden mindre mellom internasjonale CSR-prinsipper og små og store bedrifters praksis i deres utenlandske virksomhet.
Civil society organisations, the media and the authorities all have key roles to play in these efforts. 
Sivilt samfunn, media og myndigheter har sentrale roller i dette arbeidet.
CSR has made a difference, although much still remains to be done. 
CSR har utgjort en forskjell, selv om mye gjenstår.
In the future, the expectations of consumers, employees, investors and the general public with regard to CSR will in all likelihood increase. 
I fremtiden vil trolig forventningene til næringslivets samfunnsansvar hos forbrukere, ansatte, investorer og publikum tilta.
