The 2014 Inaugural Conference on Social Responsibility in Asia (COSRA), to be held in Hiroshima, Japan, is an international conference that offers a platform for scholarly and applied conversations among a wide variety of stakeholders concerned with the continual challenge of advancing the social responsibility agenda: people, planet, and growth.

As the fields of social responsibility, sustainable development and sustainable business cross over into multiple areas and disciplines, authors are welcome to submit from a range of topics, perspectives, and disciplines. The range of research submissions may include conceptual, empirical, experimental, and case studies. With the theme of Balancing the Triple Bottom Line the conference will promote a critical understanding of the innovative and organic approaches concerning social responsibility toward sustainability.

This is an international, peer-reviewed conference. Full papers are welcome, but not required.
