21 mars 2008 Conservative Party : Tories encourage responsible business
David Cameron rattled a few cages at the launch of the Conservatives' policy paper on corporate social responsibility, not least those of the leaders of business organisations. Announcing a voluntary series of 'responsibility deals' Cameron insisted the Tories could be "both pro-business . . . and also passionate about responsible business" (FT, 18 March). The proposals ranged from action over childhood obesity and teenage pregnancy to climate change with the first working
party, under former Asda boss Archie Norman, concentrating on waste. Cameron described the current approach to waste as "bureaucratic and sluggish" (BBC, 17 March) and vowed to work with business on a voluntary basis rather than impose legislation.
