摘要：In a globalizing economy liberalization, deregulation
and privatization continuously redraw
the lines between state and market. They also
change the basis on which private enterprise is
expected to contribute to public wealth. As a
result of the growing legal, ethical, social and environmental
expectations of various stakeholders,
demand for corporate environmental and social
responsibility (CESR)1 is continuously increasing.
While pressure grows from a wide range of stakeholders,
including governments, consumers,
NGOs, research institutions and financial markets,
a number of companies are beginning to
implement CESR processes such as public commitment
to standards, community investment,
continuous improvement, stakeholder engagement,
and corporate reporting on social and environmental
performance.
