The SASAC attaches great importance to social responsibility in central SOEs, and has been promoting their CSR fulfillment through policy guidance, management improvement, communication enhancement and other aspects. Since the Guidelines to the State-owned Enterprises Directly under the Central Government on Fulfilling Corporate Social Responsibilities was released in 2008, it has been promoting central SOEs to fulfill social responsibility. The year 2012 signaled the first year of China’s CSR management, when the SASAC included social responsibility management as one of the 13 key measures to improve corporate management of central SOEs, marking CSR management as an important part of corporate management improvement. 
 
Since then, many central SOEs have started to explore and practice CSR management, opening a new chapter from CSR fulfillment to CSR management.

“The most competitive and vibrant companies are those that actively assume their social responsibilities.” said Chinese President Xi Jinping. Innovative CSR management will be an effective way for enterprises to actively fulfill social responsibility, and achieve responsible competitiveness and long-term vitality.
These three enterprises initiated the practice of systematic summary, follow-up research and overall spread of China’s mode of enterprise management and sustainable development. In addition, a number of central SOEs have successfully developed unique and effective ways of CSR management, such as, theme-driven CSR management by China Mobile, strategy-driven CSR management by China South Power Grid, integrated value-driven CSR management by China Minmetals Corporation, standard-driven CSR management by Aluminum Corporation of China, public communication-driven CSR management by China National Nuclear Power, transparent operation-driven CSR management by China General Nuclear Power Group, public welfare-driven CSR management by China Three Gorges Corporation, industrial responsibility ecology-geared CSR management by China Electronics Technology Group Corporation.
