A nonprofit organization that urges employers to create healthy workplaces to reduce risks of cancer and other diseases has established a branch in China.

The CEO Roundtable on Cancer was created in 2001 at the request of a former US president, George H.W. Bush, who asked a group of corporate leaders to "do something bold and venturesome about cancer within your own corporate family".

On Oct 10, the organization formally opened its China headquarters in Shanghai.
