A strong brand is instrumental in winning new customers when entering China’s market. As lot of time and money is spent on building brand reputation, it can be damaging to SMEs if someone else started to sell their products under the same brand name. Thus, brand protection is the key to success on China’s market. Successful protection, however, requires a comprehensive strategy, including registering IP such as trademarks, monitoring the market and taking action when spotting infringements.

Businesses in China have mobilized quickly to address critical priorities like employee wellbeing and business continuity during the acute phase of the COVID-19 crisis. For many, the CSR function has been critically important in working closely alongside other key functions to ensure coordination of initiatives to both mitigate negative impact to the company and to maximize support to employees and other important stakeholders. As the situation continues to evolve and move beyond immediate crisis response, the focus of the CSR function needs to shift to improving preparedness, prevention, and organizational resilience. In this webinar, we will explore what critical steps and issues CSR practitioners need to consider next, to ensure their companies are capturing and acting on “lessons learned”.

In this regard, the SCS could be an ally or a threat for SMEs, depending on the correct understanding of this influential tool.
