1. About East Asia 30
South Korea’s Hankyoreh Economic Research Institute (HERI) led the development of the new evaluation standards, which incorporate Asian values into global CSR evaluation standards. The top 30 companies for CSR in East Asia 30 are selected based on evaluations conducted by the Asia CSR Expert Committee, which is comprised of 10 experts from Japan, South Korea and China. East Asia 30 began in 2010, with 2011 marking its second year. A more comprehensive evaluation was conducted for 2011 that included the addition of company CSR initiatives in the supply chain and human rights as evaluation criteria.
