The mission of the workshop series on Corporate Social Responsibility and Climate Change is to bring thought leaders from business and academic circles together who share their analysis of progress and setbacks in the implementation of sustainable business practices responding to climate change, low carbon strategies and their contribution to the larger society. A particular focus is to better understand the opportunities and pitfalls of the Chinese context. It offers a forum to discuss dilemmas, risks and challenges in a highly volatile and competitive environment and society. The goal is to create networks beyond the conventual boundaries which are critical for ongoing action-oriented solutions. It will also be critically evaluated if Confucianism may provide guidance and inspiration for such a process.

企业社会责任与气候变化系列研讨会的宗旨是汇聚商界和学术界的思想领袖，分享他们在实施应对气候变化的可持续商业实践、低碳战略及其对更广泛社会的贡献方面的进展和挫折分析。这其中一个重点是更好地了解中国市场背景下的机遇和陷阱。研讨会提供了一个平台，以讨论在高度动荡、竞争激烈的环境和社会中的困境、风险和挑战。研讨会的目标是创建超越传统界限的网络，这对于持续开展以行动为导向的解决方案至关重要。此外，会上还将对儒家思想能否指导和启发这一进程交换意见。
