"It is vital for the China Center for Labor and Environment to be able to support the business community by offering authoritative local advice on environmental protection," said Carlos Flores of the China Center. "This is just the first link in our program to support a greener supply chain in China. Our goal is to provide businesses with a common platform to evaluate environmental impact together with their suppliers, and by utilising our online informational and consultation services at www.csrlaws.com, subscribers will be able to collect and share industry good practice."
