Can I use a Schengen type C Visa (Tourism) for Business?

Yes, Schengen type C visa are simply short-stay visas. Nowhere does the sticker say “tourism”. The regulation contains some lists of documents to include in the application depending on the purpose of the trip but it does not define strictly distinct categories either.
Doing something like that can be tricky with a single entry visa (which is implicitly issued for a specific trip) but multiple entry visa are explicitly intended to offer flexibility and cover other (types of) trips as well. Having all your documents with you if you are challenged is a good idea but with many past trip and a 5-year visa (it's the longest you can get and it means you are a trusted traveller, people typically don't get that the first time around or if they have a risky profile) I would not expect any problem.

I have completed my business trip to Norway (flying through Amsterdam). It was very smooth and I did not encounter any issues at passport control regarding the Visa. I was asked about the purpose of the visit and I mentioned it is a business visit to the company I was visiting, no issue at all. To add to this, my Schengen visa was actually on my expired passport and I was travelling with my new passport and also that was fine.
