Invitation to be our Corporate Partner

1) INTRODUCTION ON ASEAN CSR NETWORK (ACN)

ASEAN CSR Network (ACN) was established with support from the ASEAN Foundation to achieve ASEAN Community objectives. As the regional network of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), networks, we provide a platform for networking and cooperation, supports capacity-building and training activities, helps to rally collective action on key issues, and provides a link with regional and international bodies interested in supporting the advancement of CSR in the region. Since our establishment in December 2010 as a private sector, not-for-profit organisation, much has been achieved in mainstreaming CSR practices through the Network’s efforts in developing and implementing the “ASEAN CSR Vision 2020”. The principles of sustainable development and CSR are across the three pillars of “ASEAN 2025: Forging Ahead Together”. We are a registered International Charitable Organisation in Singapore and an ASEAN accredited entity. Together with our participating organisations from the ASEAN countries, we have an outreach of over 30,000 companies, business associations and Civil Society Organisations (CSO). Our current priority areas are business integrity, business and human rights, food security and sustainable agriculture, and access to finance. The Network’s Board of Advisers comprises Ambassador Ong Keng Yong, former Secretary-General of ASEAN; Mr Noke Kiroyan, Chairman, International Chamber of Commerce – Indonesia; and Mr Rafendi Djamin, former Indonesian Representative to the ASEAN Intergovernmental Commission for Human Rights. Our Board of Trustees is made up of representatives from almost all the ASEAN countries and we have a full time secretariat team based in Singapore.
