New pact for social dialogue

Yesterday, together with the other European social partners and the European Commission, BusinessEurope signed the Pact for European Social Dialogue.

This pact strengthens the role of social partners in shaping labour market, employment and social policies. It is the start of a process to tackle the key challenges facing European economies in a rapidly changing world. "This Pact is about joining forces to improve the functioning of our labour markets and ensure the competitiveness of European businesses because this is the basis for quality jobs. It is about decarbonising without deindustrialising”, our President Fredrik Persson highlighted.

We also welcomed the launch of the Union of Skills initiative on the same day. This is a crucial milestone in addressing the EU’s growing skills and labour shortages, which are holding companies back across Europe.
Social dialogue and skills development are key for the success of the Clean Industrial Deal and for Europe’s future. Read the joint ress release from the Commission and social partners.
