The Joint Research Team seeks to identify CSR good practices of companies from China, Japan and Korea that show their commitment to CSR initiative and demonstrate how they are outperforming others in terms of CSR. We believe this research will identify and introduce good practices unique to East Asian companies to the global market, and help companies in the region that are willing to fulfill CSR but do not know how to practice and improve their CSR performance.
