“…The work of the OECD may be seen to reflect a recurring observation made in recent research works addressing the issue of sustainable development in Asia. That is, multi-national companies have the resources and capabilities to foster the technological, institutional, organisational, social and cultural changes that Asian countries are bound to operate to venture towards a more sustainable and inclusive society (Fukushi et al, 2010;Gill et al, 2010;Lin-Heng et al, 2010). Therefore future research efforts in Asian sustainable development ought to examine the best practices that will help multi-national companies to foster such changes and expand the scope of their positive societal impact.…”

This introductory chapter discusses the challenge of fostering sustainable development in Asia, where the economic, social and environmental contingencies are changing rapidly and concerns over, inter alia, climate change, environmental degradation, population growth and social deprivation provide for a complex terrain for decision-making. A number of perspectives that have been used in the extant literature to explain the specific societal role of business organisations in this region are critically reviewed and an emphasis is placed on their general lack of depth and contextualisation. This leads to the observation that this volume represents a timely contribution to our understanding of an understudied phenomenon: corporate sustainability-oriented practices in Asia. The book develops a collection of illustrative company cases that help us to clarify some conceptual and practical issues that surface the societal role of multinational companies in the Asian context. We hereby join a growing movement of research that seeks to unveil the conditions giving rise to a better and more context-sensitive way of integrating concerns for social and environmental impacts into corporate management decisions.
