Responsible business and investment practice is spreading daily from the boardrooms in Europe and the US to impact businesses on-the-ground in Asia. As operations and production lines shift to Asia, many global companies strive to implement global business strategies with sustainability at the fore and many smaller Asian companies struggle to meet international standards in best practice. This day is designed to assess the status of SRI in the region and the penetration of global business principles into Asia. There will also be a focus on methodologies for developing SRI specifically in the Asian context.
