Embarking on more inclusive and sustainable business practices is pivotal for helping businesses meet sodal and environmental demands and for overcoming the challenges of socioeconomic development both nationally and globally. This approach is rapidly changing the role of businesses by placing them at the forefront of inclusive and sustainable development. Integrating the SRB agenda into business strategies and operations helps companies meet not only shareholder expectations, but also consumer and stakeholder expectations. Although there have been many successful SRB activities in the region, most Asia-Pacific businesses have not implemented SRB practices that align with international principles and national legislation. Consequently, governments should facilitate the business community's embrace of SRB practices. There is considerable room for developing stronger and more effective frameworks that can enable SRB implementation.
