Carnstone Asia

Carnstone established a Shanghai office in December 2014 to serve the growing market for companies embedding sustainability in their Asian operations.

Carnstone Asia provides two types of services:

1. Our traditional work of improving the supply chain impacts of international companies doing business in Asia.

   This has taken the form of:

   • Developing supply chain strategies and projects to mitigate the environmental and social risks that international companies face in Asia.
   • Managing those projects for maximum impact.
   • Developing supply chain environmental, labour rights, and health and safety standards and policies.
2. More recently Carnstone Asia has started to help companies realize the benefits from being more sustainable in their own retail, service provision, and manufacturing operations in China.

   We have:

   • Helped a company understand how Chinese consumers’ concern for the environment can be a risk and also a marketing opportunity.
   • Developed and implemented a strategy for ensuring a client’s construction site had good labour rights standards.
   • Ensured China-based sourcing offices have the skills to manage sustainability.
