Certificate Course: Labor Law Compliance In China

Labor Law Compliance in China

E-Learning | Certificate Course

The “social” pillar of ESG is gaining increasing importance in China, where companies are expected not only to comply with labor and employment regulations but also to demonstrate broader responsibility toward employees, communities, and supply chain partners. For foreign enterprises, understanding these social dimensions is essential to managing compliance risks, protecting reputation, and building long-term trust with stakeholders.

This certificate course provides a structured overview of the policies, practices, and cultural expectations that define the social aspects of ESG in China. Across four units, the program explores the intersection of labor rights, diversity and inclusion, supply chain responsibility, and community engagement, equipping participants with the tools to navigate both regulatory requirements and societal expectations.

Drawing on case studies from companies such as Apple, Adidas and Nike, the course combines regulatory analysis with practical strategies and real-world examples. By the end of the course, participants will be equipped to integrate social responsibility into their ESG strategies in China, balancing global expectations with local realities.
