Comments on: Bad CSR: Unilever Sued For Smuggling In China http://www.chinacsr.com/en/2009/11/04/6484-bad-csr-unilever-sued-for-smuggling-in-china/ Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), Business Intelligence, and Sustainability News for China Wed, 08 Feb 2012 23:19:41 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Paul Dwyer http://www.chinacsr.com/en/2009/11/04/6484-bad-csr-unilever-sued-for-smuggling-in-china/#comment-57336 Paul Dwyer Thu, 05 Nov 2009 08:49:14 +0000 http://www.chinacsr.com/en/?p=6484#comment-57336 This proves that multi-nationals in China can be both good and bad at their own CSR. For example UniLever does much good with their green buildings and donations but their procurement process is still much to be desired. I would like to see an international campaign that focuses on making sure companies that operate in Country A also so the same business practices in Country B. The United Nations has the Global; Compact but that is presently just not mandatory and it is all based on the own company's desire to issue their reports. At the end we need to be vigilant toward these co's the make sure they maintain high corporate responsibility levels in society.
