The Event

The 25th annual Global Dialogue of the Caux Round Table ("CRT") will focus on the compelling need, in the wake of the global financial crisis, to find platforms of business ethics and corporate responsibility that can be embraced by business and financial investors globally. China is already a global economic powerhouse and as a major driver of global growth, its role in the development of such platforms is critical.

Among the questions to be addressed:

• How can China become a major driving force in the adoption of responsible and ethical business as the means to ensure sustainable long-term economic development?
• How best can China balance its continuing economic growth with environmental sustainability and prosperity for its entire people?
• What standards of ethical conduct and corporate responsibility should be adopted and widely promoted by the Government and the Party?
• How best to get such standards adopted and implemented across all business and commercial sectors?

This Global Dialogue will provide a unique forum for business, academic and professional leaders, committed to responsible and ethical business practices, to interact with opinion leaders from the Chinese government and businesses.
