About Event Host CGSR
The Center for Global Social Responsibility (CGSR) was launched in May 2011 at Ewha’s Graduate School of International Studies (GSIS). Led by the Center’s Director, Professor Hannah Jun, the CGSR aims to advance research, learning and engagement aimed at promoting global social responsibility. Global social responsibility refers to the accountability of all stakeholders who operate in the global community. With sustainable development a priority on the global agenda, promoting more responsible business, government, communities and citizens remains a major task.
To facilitate dialogue and enhance understanding between local stakeholders and the global community, Ewha’s CGSR focuses on three major areas: (1) research, (2) fieldwork, and (3) partnerships. For research, the CGSR undertakes rigorous, interdisciplinary research on corporate social responsibility (CSR) and business ethics, socially responsible and impact investing, development cooperation and finance, social enterprises and innovation, and public-private partnerships (PPPs). Building on our research, fieldwork includes active engagement with local and global stakeholders to document and communicate digital contents within the field of global social responsibility. Lastly, strategic partnerships include MOUs and collaborations with universities and research institutes in Asia, North America, Europe, Latin America, and Africa. These include KoSRI (Korea Social Responsibility Institute), Boston College’s Center for Corporate Citizenship (BCCCC), WikiRate, and WomenCorporateDirectors Korea.

The CGSR welcomes potential collaborations with local and global institutions that aim to build a more sustainable and responsible global community. We invite you to contact us (cgsr@ewha.ac.kr) and learn more about the Center!
