Hong Kong - Good corporate governance, labour standards, anti-corruption strategy, government relations, consumer and partner communications are all vital to how your company operates across the Asian region. Now the region's annual conference that focuses on how big companies are tackling the challenges ahead on these thorny issues is back - for a third year in a row

At the 2006 Ethical Corporation Asia Conference on February 22/23 2006 in Hong Kong, delegates will hear about emerging best practices on global corporate responsibility by some of the leading brands operating across the region.

Representatives from some of the world's biggest firms are included on this year's agenda.
