Summary

Giving Korea 2009 attempted to identify strategies for sustainable corporate giving independent from economic vagaries and showed that although the overall amount of corporate giving did decline in 2008, South Korean businesses made efforts to maintain stable levels of giving. In particular, it was encouraging to see the top 300 companies based on sales volume actually giving more, despite deteriorating business conditions. Another meaningful finding was that corporate governance is positively related to amount of giving.
