Abstract

This chapter gives an introduction to and the history of CSR in Norway. Parallel to the development of industry and political changes, the development of CSR is presented. Practical examples of how companies have addressed CSR are put forward, together with key regulatory changes and milestones. The extent to which the Norwegian wealth based on oil resources has impacted the country’s CSR engagement is discussed. Norwegian politicians and companies have been visible and active actors on the global CSR scene. At the same time the average Norwegian negative footprint is one of the largest worldwide. This consumer paradox is discussed.
