Six founding organisations – from five of the 10 ASEAN members-states plus the ASEAN Foundation – signed off on the Network’s framework and have agreed to work together for the advancement of CSR in ASEAN. A short-term priority of the Network is to achieve representation in all 10 ASEAN-member countries, as well as expanding participation in each country. Since its inception, chambers in Vietnam and Myanmar have joined the Network, expanding representation to seven out of 10 ASEAN member-states. 

Hence, each of the red 'waves' on the top left represents the 5 ASEAN member states that came on board in the earlier days and the grey coloured 'waves' on the right are the other 5 ASEAN member states, out of which 2 had since joined us and we are looking forward the participation of the other 3 states. 

The 'waves' can also be interpreted as 'fingers'. All the 10 fingers coming together, to form two hands. Both hands are 'holding' CSR. This symbolises the close and harmonious relationship in embracing corporate social responsibility together.
