Welcome

Corporate Pakistan is alive and kicking! Or is it? Is the corporate sector an island unto itself or is it part of the larger community we call Pakistan? Has business played its part in achieving the MDGs or is this whole business of business as a social actor all hogwash? Can Pakistan move beyond corporate philanthropy and enter into the realms of corporate responsibility? Will we move away from using CSR as a Annual Report accessory and start mainstreaming it as a policy tool? Is the corporate sector accountable and how is the regulator handling its responsibilities in this respect?

These are some of the questions to which we need answers. Collective wisdom--in the form of your views, posts, suggestions--is needed, so fire away!

Hi Farrukh: best regards on the launch of this site. I've linked to it over at CSR Asia and will be back for sure.

Dear FM
Great initiative and well timed..the need for corporate responsibility as opposed to 'philanthropic' eye-wash has been demanded time and again by several actors in Pakistan. This blog can lead this process given that the internet is becoming more and more accessible in Pakistan.
