Frits Philips founded CRT to build trust between international executives and to implement Corporate Social Responsibility practices, in the face of concerns that Japanese exports would flood the Western market and cause a trade war.[citation needed] The CRT’s Principles for Business were published in 1994, incorporating Western and Japanese concepts (such as 'kyosei', the working together for the common good).[citation needed] It was presented at the 1994 UN Social Summit in Copenhagen.[5]
The CRT holds an annual meeting and produces guides for different types of organizations.[citation needed] Every three years, the annual meeting is held at Caux, Switzerland, where the original initiative took place in 1986.[6][7]
