Corporate Social Responsibility in Green Development in China

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has moved from a perception depending on the philanthropy or charity of business owners to a core concept in business that reflects respect for the rule of law and going beyond compliance through taking environmental and social considerations into account in business operations. CSR incorporates corporate environmental responsibility (CER) which provides the basis for companies to contribute to and makes it an integral part of Green Development by adequately preventing and reducing environmental impacts of business activities. In order to promote sustainable development and create an ecological civilization, it is essential to create a national strategy and action plan for CSR/CER.
