The event, hosted by the Korean Embassy in China and sponsored by the Chinese Korean Chamber of Commerce and KOTRA, took place at the Kempinski Hotel in Beijing with participation from Korea's leading companies operating in China, including Samsung China, Hyundai Motor China, E-Land China, CJ China, and LG.

The 2016 Korean CSR Companies in China Awards and CSR Forum was established to encourage Korean companies active in China to conduct corporate social responsibility (CSR) activities and to share exemplary CSR activities by both Korean and Chinese companies. Some 150 leading figures representing both countries' economy, society, media, and academia graced the event, including South Korean ambassador to China Jang-soo Kim, Korea Chamber of Commerce in China Tae-yoon Kim, and other officials from Korean companies active in China, Chinese companies, and the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences.

The Korean Embassy in China evaluated the CSR activities conducted over the year by Korean companies operating in all areas of China and awarded exemplary companies in four sectors, outstanding strategy; customer satisfaction; local contribution, and creative innovation. POSCO China won the excellence prize in the creative innovation sector last year, which the company followed with winning the grand prize in the same sector this year.

The event's colorful attendees remarked that by giving recognition to the CSR efforts and outcomes of Korean companies active in China and by discussing those companies' strategic directions regarding CSR, the event facilitated the sharing of exemplary cases between companies.
