CSR at Harvard's top 50 successful domestic companies?
There is an article in this month's Harvard Business Review called "How local companies keep multinationals at bay". It lists "fifty homegrown champions", i.e. 50 successful domestic companies in 10 emerging economies (Brazil, China, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Mexico, Poland, Russia, Slovakia & Thailand).
My QUESTION is: do we know anything about the CSR/sustainability track-records of these companies? Or is CSR purely a Western multinational phenomenon? (I don't believe it is). I'd be fascinated to hear from anyone - especially those living in the developing countries profiled - who know these companies and can comment. Are they responsible? Are they sustainable?
Here is the list:
BRAZIL - B2W | Casas Bahia | Cosan | Gol Linhas Aereas Inteligentes | Grupo Positivo | O Boticario | Totvs | TV Globo | Votorantim Financas | CHINA - Baidu | China Merchants Bank | China Vanke | Ctrip | Focus Media | Goldwind Science and Technology | Gome Electrical Appliances | Goodbaby | New Oriental Education & Technology | Shanda | SIM Technology Group | Tencent | WuXi PharmaTech | ZinAo Group | Xinyi Glass | INDIA - Apollo Hospitals | Bharti Airtel | CavinKare | Gujarat Cooperative Milk Marketing Federation | ICICI Bank | The Indian Hostels Company | ITC | NIIT | SKS Microfinance | Subhiksha | Titan Industries | INDONESIA - Astra International | MALAYSIA - Air Asia | MEXICO - Controladora Milano | Corporacion Interamericana de Entretenimiento | Desarrolladora Homex | Farmacia Guadalajara | Grupo Elektra | Sigma Alimentos | POLAND - Atlas Group | Maspex Wadowice | RUSSIA - Euroset | MegaFon | Wimm-Bill-Dann Foods | SLOVAKIA - SkyEurope Airlines | THAILAND - Siam Cement Group.
Perhaps we can start to build up a CSR/sustainability profile of these multinationals of tomorrow?
