Social Responsibility and Sustainability News

I spent the last two years in Hong Kong where I consulted on Corporate Social Responsibility communications projects for various organizations in Hong Kong and mainland China. What is the current state of Corporate Responsibility there? The short answer is that Chinese companies realize they have greater responsibilities as their presence on the global playing field grows. Leaders of Chinese companies and officials of the People’s Republic of China are aware of the need to expand their corporate responsibility efforts.

In terms of the broad understanding of Corporate Social Responsibility in China corporations are realizing their responsibilities and are writing CSR reports and establishing programs directly related to their impact and values. Today in China, more than 100 million people live on $1 a day (BBC). There is much to be done.
