The CCBC is pleased to offer its members timely and valuable information on Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) to provide a foundation of understanding regarding the expectations of Canadian society when doing business within its borders.<\/p>\n
Canada has been the recipient of considerable investment from China and a growing trade in goods and services sold into Canada. Canada also continues to be a major source of purchased materials and agricultural products as well as an investment opportunity in clean-tech, manufacturing, banking, real estate, mining and insurance.<\/p>\n
For Chinese companies investing in Canada, or carrying out other commercial transactions in Canada, an awareness of the very different cultures, business practices, legal systems and roles of government is critical to success.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n In Canada, there is a different understanding than in China of a corporation\u2019s responsibilities, objectives and relationships to society and the various levels of government.<\/p>\n The CCBC Corporate Social Responsibility Guidelines have been developed by the CCBC to help potential investors in, and traders with, Canada find useful resource materials and to ask the right questions of their potential partners, acquisition targets or suppliers. Corporate social responsibility (CSR) has been interpreted very broadly here to also include issues surrounding bribery, corruption and lobbying government.<\/p>\n CCBC acknowledges with gratitude the significant contribution of Chris Twigge-Molecey of Hatch<\/a> in the creation of these guidelines.<\/p>\n <\/p>\nFor Chinese companies operating in Canada,
