This book presents a comprehensive examination of the impact of COVID and post-COVID times on Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) compliance and related legal frameworks in the Asia-Pacific region. The book utilizes various research methodologies to analyze corporates' responses to legislative and regulatory frameworks on CSR during the COVID pandemic.

Focusing primarily on countries including China, India, Indonesia, and Australia, the book delves into the contrasting approaches taken by these nations in enforcing and regulating CSR. While some countries adopt hard law measures to ensure socially responsible behaviors, others rely on normative approaches such as the ASX Listing Rules. Through a combination of comparative doctrinal analysis and empirical socio-legal-based research methods, the book assesses the state of CSR compliance in selected countries. By analyzing companies' CSR disclosures and conducting interviews with stakeholders, the study identifies gaps in the existing legal literature.

The book fills these gaps by offering practical recommendations to enhance policy development and strengthen the legal frameworks. It emphasizes the importance of corporate culture in influencing CSR-related activities. In conclusion, this book provides valuable insights into how companies can better comply with CSR regulations and improve their societal impact.
