About Us

Based in Shanghai, Collective Responsibility is a strategic advisory firm founded by Richard Brubaker, one of Asia’s most recognized authorities on sustainability, innovation and responsible leadership.

Founded with the fundamental belief that that a sustainable world can only be achieved through awareness of issues, finding tangibility in business cases, and development of cross-sector collaboration, Collective Responsibility acts as a knowledge base, catalyst and facilitator between stakeholders.

We at Collective view sustainability as a holistic process of action and a change in vision among corporations, from the new entrant workers to the founders and visionaries of the company. Change for a more efficient and productive planet starts with the private sector, and we’re here to help our clients move towards that future through consulting, research, training, and engaging their stakeholders.

Our mission is to:

  • Create a knowledge base and catalyze discussion of issues related to the development of civil society, business sustainability and social development in Asia.
  • Develop tangible interests, engagement and action on issues of sustainability (economic, environmental and societal).
  • Build bridges between local and foreign resources to ensure knowledge transfer, program scalability and growth.
  • Develop organizational capacity with the aim to help create stable and profitable enterprises.
