BEST CSR AND SUSTAINABILITY INITIATIVE 2022/23 School of Business, Guangdong University of Foreign Studies, China for Training Global Talent with CSR Competency and a Sense of Sustainability The School of Business at Guangdong University of Foreign Studies has a focus on instilling the values of SMILE – social responsibility, mutual respect, integrity, learning by doing and entrepreneurship – in its students so that they are better able to take on social challenges and ethical issues. Not only have CSR and sustainability been strongly embedded in the school’s curriculum, research and extracurricular activities, but Confucianism has also been integrated by faculty members into blended learning activities. This is something that has been highly praised by students and which won a provincial-level excellent education prize.
