Socio-cultural features of corporate social responsibility policy in China and comparison with Russian practices

Strengthening of cooperation between the state, business, companies and workers in overcoming socio-economic barriers to the development of society is becoming a clear global trend. This cooperation is implemented in the corporate social responsibility (CSR) policy, which has the most diverse forms in the practice of the American and European experience. Within the framework of theoretical and methodological approaches, several CSR models have been developed, representing the possibilities of conjugating the interests of all interested participants and obtaining the greatest possible benefit for the business and the company’s reputation. The Chinees practice demonstrates non-traditional principles of CSR implementation, the influence of national culture, as well as the principles of doing and organizing business in direct connection with the state. This experience is extremely original, therefore, acquaintance with its socio-cultural characteristics, presented not only by foreign, but also by Chinese researchers is certainly important and useful. This allows us to make some comparisons with CSR practices in Russia, where the principles of this policy are just beginning to emerge and to be supported by big business.
