‘If you ever wondered how the world of corporate social responsibility and sustainability was changing given the growing influence of China and other emerging economies, then this is the book for you. It examines how countries such as China are increasingly changing the shape of corporate responses to sustainability. In an interesting look into the future, the book explores the issues that will shape social responsibility over the coming decades.’ -- Richard Welford, Chairman of CSR Asia

‘This book takes us back to the origin of corporate social responsibility and its role in sustainable development from a global perspective and with a special focus on China. It explores how businesses contribute to sustainable development and what the future trends are like. With China becoming increasingly influential in global economy and sustainable development agenda, this book is certainly a must-read for anyone who thinks deeply about the future of global sustainability.’ -- Hongwu Zhong, Director of CSR Research Center, Chinese Academy of Social Science
