I would have also added the NextStep Directory with its comprehensive directory of close to 20 Green CSR Companies on http://www.nextstepdirectory.com/green-csr that was launched for the Green Business Forum on July 12th.

The post was covering CSR sites whose core focus is CSR, and you are clearly not there in content or mindset.
Calling your 20 sites "comprehensive directory" of CSR site is a joke or is a sad reflection ofr how little you think is going on in CSR in China.
Perhaps you should watch the Greenwashing video that Crossroads has posted on their site and take notes.

CSR Map is excellent, and I would second that with another resource that is very strong on identifying local programs in China.
http://www.greenmap.org/
Not China specific, its uniqueness is members of the community put together their own pages, and for China there are a lot of excellent programs being profiled.
I wouldn't call it a "comprehensive" directory, but with 100-150 or so NGO programs profiled, it surely is one of the best resources around for seeing on a map what is happening in China on the non-profit side of the CSR equation
You are right, this is really good.
At least, we are trying to contribute at our level.
Thank you
