The companies provided a lot of information on what they are doing to promote Social Responsibility and Sustainability. It really is amazing how much power a company can have.
Scandic, the major hotel chain in the region, has been the leader in sustainability and sustainability. It is ironic that many of the changes have been little ones that have made a major impact like removing soap bottles from rooms. This move reduced the consumption of 40 million tubes per year. My favorite new initiative is the move to organic and sustainable candy! Much to my surprise, the candy is actually pretty good proving it can be good for the planet and good to eat!
A major retailer has focused social, environmental, and anti corruption. They are getting businesses and governments together and making a difference. One of the current initiatives is convincing consumers to bring in old clothes to complete the cycle.
The big surprise for me is that many of the things we've talked about are being done at U.S companies. The question becomes why haven't these efforts been better publicized? Do companies feel that people will be skeptical? No one cares about these efforts? That they shouldn't do good and promote it? I 
can understand why Scandinavians don't say much about it because they are more reserved, but American companies keeping a lid on it. To me, this is a very curious thing!
