China's Largest Corporate Social Responsibility Website Unveils New Look And CSR Services

Hong Kong, China (January 16, 2009) /ChinaNewswire.com/ — Covering topics such as Chinese consumerism, education, environment, supply chain management, corporate giving, charities, non-governmental organizations, health, safety, labor issues, and legal oversight, ChinaCSR.com is expanding its range of topics this year with more articles on clean energy and cleantech, two areas that will have important business growth in 2009. ChinaCSR.com also is now providing over 120,000 different daily Chinese-language RSS feeds covering a myriad of CSR topics that deliver news directly to users' Web-enabled mobile devices or syndication Web 2.0 software programs.

"When we first started the ChinaCSR.com service in 2003, people thought we were crazy to focus on such a niche area as CSR, but we knew that business executives were hungry for actionable China information about Corporate Social Responsibility," says Danny Levinson, publisher of ChinaCSR.com. "CSR was a niche area six years ago, but it has quickly grown into a large sector within the business community. Now companies have CSR departments and executives carry titles such as Vice President of CSR or CSR Manager. Domestic Chinese companies are now asked to comply with more CSR-friendly rules, and with new CSR guidelines soon going into effect in China for multinationals, the need for immediately usable information in China will explode even more."

Operating since 2003, ChinaCSR.com, owned by China-based BDL Media Limited, is China's largest daily source of news and information covering Corporate Social Responsibility, Sustainability, and Corporate Citizenship throughout Greater China. The site daily delivers over 100,000 views to users and syndicates its Chinese and English content to over a dozen online sources, including Dow Jones. The website also has over 21,000 weekly digital magazine subscribers and a postal database of over 54,000 key C-level and executive decision makers in China who stay abreast of the ways both domestic and foreign businesses are implementing corporate change in China. Advertisers use ChinaCSR.com to directly target buyers of corporate reporting services; executive education and training; accounting regulatory consulting; supplier management and oversight; and market entry services.

Levinson concludes, "The new logo and enhanced website bring together all the necessary daily Chinese-language and English-language data that executives need to propel their businesses in Greater China. We plan to grow our network of partners in 2009 as the global financial crisis offers opportunities for companies to extend their core ethics and CSR programs in China."

ChinaCSR.com also manages CharityInChina.org, a free service that connects corporations and individuals to NGOs and charities operating in China who need important funding or assistance. More information is available at www.charityinchina.org or www.chinacsr.com.
