This is the research result of CSR Asia's project, CSR in 10, which examines the top ten issues emerging over the next ten years.

To do this we interview over 70 people from business, NGOs, government and academia who are well know for their views on CSR to see what trends they think business in the region will have to deal with. Their insights into the top ten issues facing business in a decade reveal what we all need to start thinking about and planning for now.
