The Impacts of the Pandemic on Overseas Chinese-invested Textile and Apparel Enterprises’ Operation and Social Responsibility

How have Chinese-invested overseas companies and their social responsibility management been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic? What measures have been taken to deal with the most prominent social responsibility issues, such as labor disputes, rights of vulnerable groups and engagement with local communities? Furthermore, how do Chinese company owners see the pandemic as a test of their risk management and business resilience? What support would the Asian textiles manufacturing sector need to get through the crisis? What would be the post-pandemic prospects of the overseas investment in the textiles industry?

To answer these questions, the Office for Social Responsibility of the China National Textile and Apparel Council (CNTAC) with support by Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH, carried out a study, which covered 85 Chinese-invested companies in Myanmar, Cambodia, Vietnam and Bangladesh.  

This co-hosted event is a part of the Online Seminar Series “Getting through the crisis together”, with simultaneous interpretation (English/Mandarin) provided.

“亚洲纺织服装行业可持续发展对话系列”论坛12: 暨《 “新冠”疫情对海外中资纺织服装企业运营及社会责任影响 》调研报告发布

新冠疫情如何影响中国海外投资企业及其履行社会责任表现？这些企业是如何处理如劳资纠纷、弱势群体权益以及企业与当地社区关系等最显著社会责任议题的？进一步讲，中国企业主是如何将疫情看成是对于他们企业风险管理与商业弹性的一场考验的？亚洲纺织制造行业最需要什么支持来度过这场危机？疫情后纺织产业的海外投资前景如何？

为了深入了解和探讨这些问题，在德国合作机构（GIZ）的协助下，中国纺织工业联合会（CNTAC）社会责任办公室开展了涉及在缅甸、柬埔寨、越南和孟加拉的85家中资企业的调查研究，并将在本次会议发布调研报告。
