Abstract
This chapter applies Hofstede's cultural dimensions to compare how companies located in Western and Eastern regions present their corporate sustainability strategies to their stakeholders. We compare ten pairs of West-East companies and find that differences in the corporate sustainability strategies they report can be related to geo-political and socio-cultural differences as described by Hofstede. Our findings can serve as a tool for companies in both regions to gain a better understanding about which sustainability initiatives are of more concern, depending on the region they operate.
