危機成為歐洲CSR多利益相關方論壇（布魯塞爾）明星話題

2009年2月10日，在比利時布魯塞爾有超過300名來自歐洲和世界商業(yè)界、金融界、民間社會、政策和學術界的代表出席了由歐盟委員會組織的多利益相關方論壇，探討歐洲致力于成為全球性CSR標桿的雄心壯志——目前全球經濟危機下從一種完全不同的角度來審視。與會者認為，這場危機并不是企業(yè)遠離CSR的一個信號，而正是企業(yè)能夠證明CSR價值的一個一勞永逸的機會。與會者還認為，歐盟委員會和其他機構應在推進CSR中發(fā)揮更積極的作用。歐盟委員會副主席費爾霍伊根在講話中宣布了歐盟即將開展的一系列活動，例如要將歐盟對CSR的觀點植根于與第三國的關系之中；為支持國家層面的多利益相關方CSR平臺的籌資項目；和建立一個新的聯(lián)盟實驗室，這個機構旨在研究如何使得一些教育機構能夠更好的培養(yǎng)未來的管理人員和企業(yè)家信奉一套新的價值觀。

Crisis as guest star at the European Multistakeholder Forum on CSR in Brussels

On 10 February, over 300 (and far more through online broadcast) European and international stakeholders from business, finance, civil society, policy and academia gathered at the Multistakeholder Forum hosted by the European Commission to diagnose Europes ambition to become a global pole of excellence on CSR – an ambition which the current economic and financial crisis is putting into a radically different perspective. All stakeholders agreed that far from signaling the end of CSR, the crisis is the moment for CSR to prove its worth once and for all. Vice-President Günter Verheugen in his speech announced some follow-up initiatives, such as: ensuring that Europes view on CSR is embedded in the EUs relations with third countries; and a new Alliance Laboratory to examine how teaching institutions could better equip future managers and entrepreneurs with a new set of values.

消費品巨頭達能集團和聯(lián)合利華，與其他包括強生、微軟、雀巢、諾華、寶潔和沃達豐集團在內的跨國公司，日前要求歐盟政府幫助企業(yè)銷售那些處于這個世界上的“金字塔底層”的消費者能夠負擔得起的產品，這一群體包含世界上的31億人口，它們的生活費每天還不足2.50美元。到目前為止，歐盟460億英鎊的援助發(fā)展預算中還沒有任何直接通過帶有贏利性的手段開展的。這些公司強調，針對“金字塔底層”開展業(yè)務需要創(chuàng)新的商業(yè)模式，包括與地方非政府組織的專家合作。一些國際發(fā)展項目的參與者對上述計劃持懷疑態(tài)度。

Drive to Promote Cost-Effective Energy Resources Grows in China

Joining the California-based China-U.S. Energy Efficiency Alliance, U.S. energy provider Ecos has joined the effort to save carbon emissions and reduce the number of power plants required to meet Chinas growing electricity consumption. Such efforts have the potential to meet up to 50 percent of Chinas expected electric load growth by 2014—saving enough energy to avoid the construction of more than 500 new power plants over the next 10 years.

Corporate Giants Ask EU to Help Finance Products for the Poor

Consumer goods giants Groupe Danone and Unilever N.V.—along with other multinationals including Johnson & Johnson, Microsoft Corporation, Nestlé S.A., Novartis AG, The Procter & Gamble Company, and Vodaphone Group Plc—have asked the EU to help businesses sell affordable products to the worlds “base-of-the-pyramid” consumers—the 3.1 billion people who live on less than US$2.50 per day. To date, the EU has not directed any of its ￡46 billion aid budget to development through for-profit means. The companies stressed that bottom-of-the-pyramid business requires a new business model that involves partnerships with local NGO expertise. International development campaigners are skeptical of the plan.

Denmark to Require CSR Reporting for Big Companies

The Danish Parliament passed the “Social Responsibility for Large Businesses” law, requiring about 1,100 of the largest private and state-owned companies and institutional investors to include information on their corporate social responsibility (CSR) policies, practices, and achievements beginning in 2010. Reporting can be part of a management review, an annual report, or on the companys website, as long as it is publicly accessible.

Obama Calls for Tougher State Emissions Requirements, Upsets Automakers

U.S. President Obama has cleared the way for California, and up to 18 other states, to consider setting limits on vehicle carbon dioxide emissions that are tougher than federal requirements. He also directed the Department of Transportation to set vehicle fuel efficiency standards for 2011 by March—both clear steps away from the Bush administrations climate policy. But given the auto industrys financial troubles—automakers warned that stricter standards would add to their financial woes.
