The index system includes 6 first-level indexes and 32 second-level indexes and those Indexes reflect broad social concerns. We have collected data from 200 corporations in Dalian City area of China and applied the data to assess the companies’ CSR. Our survey demonstrates that the CSR of the state owned enterprises is obviously better than that of foreign and private enterprises, the assessment is more superior in profitable enterprises than it in not profitable enterprises. With regarding to the question of employee interest, employees are not paid for the hours that they work overtime in many enterprises.
