Abstract
How to utilize limited resources, harmonize with the society, as well as care and support to various stakeholders have drawn much attention from the public companies and also become priorities of government bodies and regulatory authorities. Through theoretical framework, academic researches, practical implication and discussions, this workshop aims to introduce the connotation and importance of CSR reporting, the current status of promoting CSR information disclosure in the Greater Bay Area, and its application and future development direction in Macau. Viewing that the neighboring cities in the GBA have already established detailed requirements on CSR disclosures and ESG (environmental, social and governance) reporting guidelines, Macau must also take a more active role in contributing towards CSR and various aspects of the Sustainable Development Goals.
