Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is becoming a bigger priority to organizations in Asia Pacific. While CSR is not a new concept or practice, it’s initiatives in the region is still comparatively young. However, it’s now recognized as one of the best ways to enhance a company’s position and value and many companies are now increasing their CSR initiatives.

Today’s CSR priorities are determined through ethical reasoning rather than governmental or legal requirements. CSR can also be used as a strong risk management tool against shareholder and consumer dissatisfaction. It’s now clearly entwined in many multinational organizations’ strategic planning process. In fact, 54% of today’s business school requires a course in CSR which is a significant jump against 2001’s 34%.
