DESCRIPTION:

This publication summarizes the results of the workshop on Corporate Social Responsibility Impacts: Collaborations Towards an Ocean-based Blue Economy held during the East Asian Seas Congress 2012. The workshop highlighted the growing involvement and the value of the corporate or business sector in sustainable coastal and marine development. In particular, the workshop showed the different strategies applied by corporations through corporate efforts and partnerships between the local governments and the business community for the sustainable development of marine and coastal areas, showcasing how public-private partnerships (PPPs) through corporate social responsibility (CSR) can enhance the region's sustainability as well as discussions on new strategies. The workshop also aimed to build awareness for and encourage multinational and national corporations to integrate sustainability strategies into their organizational policies, programs and practices focused on the specific management issues in coastal and marine areas.
