Abstract
An enterprise’s primary responsibility is enabling the enterprise itself, the local community, the region, and even the world community to pursue sustainable development. Each enterprise acts as a member of the world community. Once humanity lacks “sustainable resources” and a healthy environment, no enterprise will be able develop or survive. Therefore, an enterprise must undertake its own responsibilities in economic, social, and environmental terms and fulfill its social responsibilities. Most Chinese female entrepreneurs, from the first time they stepped into the business world, have had to overcome a thicket of problems and compete against rivals of great competence. Women entrepreneurs must, also, shoulder such heavy tasks as saving resources, environmental protection, upgrading of the industrial mix, job placement, and social security in spite of great fluctuations in the wake of industrial restructuring initiatives. In the past 20-odd years since China’s adoption of her world-acclaimed policy of opening and reform, Chinese female entrepreneurs have made great efforts, received generous support from the government and society, undertaken the task of pursuing sustainable development, and accumulated a great deal of valuable experience. Keywords: enterprise, social responsibility, female entrepreneurs, sustainable development
