I takt med globaliseringen medförs ett större internationellt företagsansvar under allt hårdare press från externa intressenter, vilket har gett begreppet Social Corporate Responsibility (CSR) en betydande roll. För att bemöta samhällets förväntningar på samhällsansvar blir CSR ett viktigt verktyg i verksamhetsstyrningen. Lokala sociala, kulturella och religiösa traditioner påverkar organisationer och därmed också hur verksamheter styrs och de är därmed väsentliga aspekter som bör uppmärksammas.Syfte: Avsikten med uppsatsen är att fördjupa oss i hur tre svenska storföretag arbetar med CSR i Kina. Vårt ändamål med studien är att komma fram till en lösning på hur västerländska företag på bästa sätt kan hantera CRS-arbetet i Kina utifrån CSR:s grundläggande ansvarsområden; ekonomiskt, juridiskt, etiskt och filantropiskt ansvar.Metod: Vi har utifrån en kvalitativ studie analyserat hur de tre studerade företagen hanterar CSR-arbetet i Kina.
