Moreover, in this paper, we review the Global CSR standards ofinternational organizations, such as the UN Global Compact and ILO Better-Work program.Results and implications of this study indicate that labor standards and human rights or normsof the international community have been strengthened. Also, labor-related risks of Koreanfirms in China are constantly increasing in terms of minimum wage requirements and thesafety accidents that have been occurring.
