Right for companies to pay attention to social justice and poverty relief

ALIBABA, China's e-commerce giant, said it will invest 10 billion yuan ($1.51 billion) for poverty alleviation over the next five years. Rednet.cn commented on Monday:

Some people say that poverty alleviation should not be an enterprise's business or responsibility. But quite a few enterprises engage in poverty relief.

Statistics from the All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce show 26,500 companies spent a total of 46.55 billion yuan last year helping 3.89 million people living in poverty.
