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.
