It was effective in advocating for companies to share and help in social development programs.

Thailand companies formed the Thai CSR Network of companies doing various social development activities. Being predominantly Buddhists, CSR for companies in Thailand is considered part of merit-making activities, mobilizing people to participate and generating resources to support social development activities. In Singapore, the Singapore Compact for CSR was formally launched in 2005 which was later renamed Global Compact Network.
