China CSR Map is a initiative which aims to promote CSR in China through the sharing and open exchange of information. The initiative was spurred by the realisation that although there is considerable discussion and activities around CSR in China, it is often difficult to find concrete information on which organisations are undertaking what activities. Part of the problem is that while information is available, it is currently scattered across various media including the internet.
The objective of China CSR Map is to create a centralised platform for the dissemination of information on organizations with CSR activities in China. In order to make the platform as accessible and useful for the broadest range of people it was decided not just to include private enterprises, but rather focus on organisations including government, non-government organisations (NGOs), private enterprises, academic institutions, service providers, media and online resource providers.
China CSR Map is a collaboration between Deutsche Gesellschaft für Technische Zusammenarbeit (GTZ), SynTao, and China Credit Information Service (CCIS), with CSR Asia acting as media partner. The website is available in English and in Chinese.
