Alarmed to hear that the Japanese were dumping their products on the western market, he feared a growing trade war. He saw the need to build trust among international executives and for Corporate Social Responsibility practices. The CRT's Principles for Business were published in 1994, incorporating western concepts (human dignity...) and Japanese ones (<i>kyosei</i>, interpreted as “living and working together for the common good”). An international code of good practices written by such senior industrialists from such varied backgrounds remains exceptional today. It was presented to the UN Social Summit in Copenhagen in 1994. It has since become a standard work, translated into 12 languages, and has been used as the basis for internal ethical assessments by international companies such as Nissan. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="The_Philips_Collection">The Philips Collection</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Frits_Philips&action=edit&section=8" title="Edit section: The Philips Collection"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Frits_Philips_met_kunstenaar_Henri_Bol.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/eb/Frits_Philips_met_kunstenaar_Henri_Bol.jpg/220px-Frits_Philips_met_kunstenaar_Henri_Bol.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="190" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/eb/Frits_Philips_met_kunstenaar_Henri_Bol.jpg/330px-Frits_Philips_met_kunstenaar_Henri_Bol.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/eb/Frits_Philips_met_kunstenaar_Henri_Bol.jpg 2x" data-file-width="413" data-file-height="356" /></a><figcaption>Frits Philips with artist <a href="/wiki/Henri_Bol" title="Henri Bol">Henri Bol</a></figcaption></figure> <p>A large part of the great art collection famously collected by Mr. and Mrs. Philips was auctioned off on December the 4th and 5th 2006 by <a href="/wiki/Sotheby%27s" title="Sotheby's">Sotheby's</a> in the <a href="/wiki/Evoluon" title="Evoluon">Evoluon</a> in the city of <a href="/wiki/Eindhoven" title="Eindhoven">Eindhoven</a>.
