The last decades have witnessed profound changes in the nature of production in the Asia-Pacific region as multinational corporations (MNCs) have pursued complex, cross-border production and distribution systems. This process has precipitated the integration of the APEC region through the emergence of global supply chains and global value chains. Increasingly connected global supply chains have created new opportunities for businesses, especially for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in developing economies of the region, as they become important suppliers for MNCs. However, the development of unprecedented levels of cross-border production sharing has also brought new challenges for both business managers and public policymakers. In particular, the rise of corporate social responsibility (CSR) standards has created a new set of challenges for SMEs linked to global supply chains. A complex, multi-layered set of CSR standards concerning socially and environmentally sustainable business practices have been developed at international, national and local levels. An increasingly large number of MNCs have also started to demand that suppliers comply with corporate codes of conduct. The proliferation of CSR standards, global buyers' requirements of supplier codes of conduct throughout their supply chains and various monitoring and audit mechanisms have created challenges for SMEs which tend to lack the capacity and resources to comply with new requirements. As the uptake of CSR has become a prerequisite to enter global supply chains in the region, SMEs which are unable to adopt CSR practices have been excluded from global supply chains. SMEs are drivers of sustained economic growth in APEC economies. Building CSR capacity of SMEs for their effective participation in global supply chains is thus an important challenge many APEC members face. The objective of this paper is to examine and propose the ways in which APEC can assist SMEs in the region to build the capacity to adopt CSR practices and to improve linkages with regional and global supply chains. CSR has emerged as an APEC agenda only recently and has not been given top priority so far. Furthermore, the initiatives of APEC so far have largely relied on CSR capacity building in a narrow sense. While capacity building of enterprises to adopt CSR is essential, its effectiveness can be limited without a supporting policy or regulatory environment.

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has become an important concept in the last few decades. Although it originated in the developed countries of the West, the concept has been embraced and adapted by corporations and policy-making agencies in many developing countries. Not surprisingly, given the importance of growth and development as policy objectives in these countries, CSR has had a significant impact on sustainable development. Sustainable Development and Corporate Social Responsibility explores the evolution of CSR across the developed and developing world, with a particular focus on China and sustainable development. Through an extensive review of the literature and relevant case studies, the book examines whether CSR can make a contribution to sustainable development, how the patterns of CSR in developed Western economies compare to that in the rapidly growing economy of China, what trade-offs take place between CSR and economic growth as well as the future of CSR and its possible impact on the global sustainable development agenda. This book is a valuable resource for academics and upper-level undergraduate and postgraduate students in the fields of human/social geography, economics, business studies, sustainable development, development studies and environmental studies.

"At present, Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) for some may not be more than an attitude. Can it be more? What degree of commitment can we reasonably expect of corporations in the struggle to eradicate poverty, promote human rights, halt climate change and reverse ongoingenvironmental destruction? It is not a question of power; more than half of the worlds top 100 economies are corporations, not nation-states. Whatever can be done to "fix" the world's problems, corporations are in the best position to do [it]."--Back cover.
