Facing daunting social and environmental challenges that come along with decades of rapid economic developments, some Chinese corporations go beyond their essential economic functions and attempt to address social and environmental concerns through their Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and sustainable supply chain development, while others are just starting to learn about these concepts, while still others totally ignore them. To capture the type and effectiveness of Chinese companies’ initiatives in the area, this paper summarizes the current status of China’s CSR and sustainable development. The information for the paper is based on extensive literature review and also based on case analysis of three Chinese companies on their initiatives (or the lack thereof) in the areas of CSR and sustainable development.
