The debate for or against corporate social responsibility (CSR) is over. Global trends show that the move to embed CSR within the organisation's core values, policies and practices are gaining acceptance and momentum.

This book looks at the CSR practices of 10 enterprises that have helped to distinguish themselves in the market for consumers, employees, investors, and in the community as socially responsible corporate citizens. They are local and foreign companies in Singapore, including publicly-listed companies and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), with business in the following industries: manufacturing, hospitality, public transportation, energy, property development and management, and agri-business.

This book also tracks the continuing journey of the 10 enterprises featured in a 2009 Singapore Compact publication, CSR for Sustainability and Success.

These company experiences show that, although their priorities and strategies may be different, they all leverage on their business strengths to achieve the same goal - to contribute to sustainable development and the well-being of their stakeholders and society as a shared responsibility.
