NPC delegate calls for nationwide CSR-criteria

NPC-delegate Shen Aiqin has called for a nationwide system of criteria for Corporate Social Responsibility, reports China CSR. She is the chairperson of the board of the Wensli Group, a silk company in Zhejiang Province and one of the more wealthy women in China.

Corporate social responsibility has become a key topic for the National People's Congress and Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference this year. Shen Aiqin says that many problems in China are related to corporate behavior such as tax dodging, environmental destruction, loan defaults and food safety accidents. One of the key elements for these problems is the lack of a unified criterion for corporations to fulfill their social responsibility.

We are just in the middle of discussions of who to focus on inthe our upcoming Speakers' Bureau. This is the kind of people I would love to have on board.
