Zhang Dejiang: Thoroughly Implementing The Scientific Outlook On Development's Full Implementation Of Corporate Social Responsibility

Core tips:
For a long time, China has attached great importance to corporate social responsibility, and has done a lot of effective work in standardizing employment conditions, safeguarding workers' rights and interests, strengthening quality and safety, protecting the ecological environment and supporting public welfare undertakings. The majority of enterprises should thoroughly implement the Scientific Outlook on Development, adhere to the people-oriented principle, persist in the coordinated development of enterprises and the society and environment, bear in mind their responsibilities, strengthen their awareness, and strive to be exemplary in fulfilling their social responsibilities.

In today's society, the role of enterprises in the economic and social development is becoming more and more important, and the impact on economic and social life is bigger and bigger. Taking on more social responsibilities has become the common hope and expectation of modern society for enterprises. For enterprises, facing the new situation, new opportunities and new challenges, fulfilling their social responsibilities more actively and conscientiously is not only a development force, but also a lofty realm.

Since the 80s of last century, corporate social responsibility has been highly concerned and supported by many governments, enterprises and society in the world. The United Nations formally launched the "Global Compact" plan in 2000. The international organization for standardization started the formulation of the international standard ISO26000 for social responsibility in 2004. Some multinational companies have formulated the social responsibility production code, issued the social responsibility report or the sustainable development report. At present, corporate social responsibility has increasingly become the trend of the times to promote the harmonious development of enterprises and society and environment.

Enterprise is the main body of social production, and also the cell of social relations. Properly handling the internal and external relationships of enterprises, fulfilling their corporate social responsibilities, being accountable to their employees, responsible for their partners and competitors, and being responsible to the society and the state, are conducive to mobilizing the enthusiasm and creativity of the staff and creating a good external environment for the development of enterprises, thus forming the internal and external driving force and the overall resultant force for the development of enterprises.

In a sense, the future and fate of an enterprise depend on what kind of values the firm is adhering to and depend on the realm of the enterprise. Only when enterprises exceed their own interests and take the country's prosperity, social development and people's happiness as the highest pursuit, can we cultivate strategic vision, form strategic thinking, make scientific decisions, avoid short-sighted behaviors such as quick success and instant benefit, and harm others and benefit ourselves, so that enterprises can flourish and thrive.

For a long time, China has attached great importance to corporate social responsibility, and has done a lot of effective work in standardizing employment conditions, safeguarding workers' rights and interests, strengthening quality and safety, protecting the ecological environment and supporting public welfare undertakings. In particular, since the Sixteen Party Congress, the Party Central Committee has clearly put forward a major strategic task of implementing Scientific Outlook on Development and building a harmonious socialist society. It has put forward new and higher requirements for enterprises to fulfill their social responsibilities, and enriched and deepened the connotation of corporate social responsibility. Many enterprises in our country regard social responsibility as their responsibility, take overall consideration of human, resources and environmental factors in the production and operation of enterprises, pay close attention to the reasonable needs of stakeholders, adhere to the comprehensive coordinated and sustainable development of enterprises, society and environment, actively support emergency rescue and disaster relief and social welfare undertakings, and are highly appraised and fully affirmed by the society. They have made positive contributions to promoting sound and rapid economic development and building a harmonious society. However, there are also some weak sense of corporate social responsibility and lack of social responsibility. There are many problems in terms of labor employment, product quality, production safety and environmental protection. We must attach great importance to it and take effective measures to solve them. {page_break}

At present, our country is in a critical period of building a well-off society in an all-round way. Industrialization, informatization, urbanization, marketization and internationalization are developing in depth. The task of accelerating the transformation of the mode of economic development is urgent. The connotation of corporate social responsibility is more abundant and the responsibilities are heavier. The majority of enterprises should thoroughly implement the Scientific Outlook on Development, adhere to the people-oriented principle, persist in the coordinated development of enterprises and the society and environment, bear in mind their responsibilities, strengthen their awareness, and strive to be exemplary in fulfilling their social responsibilities.

First, adhere to the law, honesty and trustworthiness. Market economy is a legal economy and a credit economy. It is an inevitable requirement for market economy to operate according to law and to be honest and trustworthy. It is also the most basic social responsibility of enterprises. The vast number of enterprises must establish a sense of lawfulness, honesty and trustworthiness, strictly abide by the state laws and regulations and relevant principles and policies, pay taxes in time and in full, protect the rights and interests of investors and creditors, protect intellectual property rights, faithfully fulfill contracts, abide by commercial credit, oppose unfair competition and eliminate corrupt practices in commercial activities. It should be clear that consciously maintaining the order of the socialist market economy is not only the responsibility of enterprises, but also the development of enterprises themselves, and it is hoped that all enterprises will become healthy forces for the development of a socialist market economy.

Second, attach great importance to product quality and safety. Product quality is the image and life of an enterprise. Enterprises should constantly improve product quality, improve service system, satisfy consumers' needs and safeguard consumers' rights and interests to the maximum. Safety responsibility is more important than Mount Tai. We must strictly implement the responsibility system for production safety, increase investment in production safety, and strictly guard against serious safety accidents. It is necessary to provide workers with safe, healthy and hygienic working conditions and living environment, ensure occupational health of workers, and prevent and reduce the harm of occupational diseases and other diseases to workers.

Third, push forward the transformation of the mode of economic development. Changing the mode of economic development is an urgent and important strategic task related to the overall situation of the national economy. Enterprises should embody the will of the state, serve and obey the overall situation. We should increase investment in scientific research and development, strive to break through key technologies in industries and industries, and enhance the capability of independent innovation. We must resolutely eliminate backward production capacity, increase technological transformation of traditional industries, and promote industrial transformation and upgrading. We should actively devote ourselves to the cultivation and development of emerging strategic industries and create new economic growth points. We should vigorously implement the brand strategy to form a number of well-known brands.

Fourth, we should vigorously strengthen resource conservation and environmental protection. Adhering to the basic state policy of conserving resources and protecting the environment is related to the vital interests of the people and the survival and development of the Chinese nation. Enterprises should conscientiously implement the central principles and policies, implement cleaner production, promote green manufacturing, develop circular economy, implement the responsibility of energy conservation and emission reduction, and form a conservation oriented development mode with low input, low consumption, low emission and high efficiency, and strive to improve the efficiency of comprehensive utilization of resources and the level of input and output, so as to achieve the coordinated development of enterprises, society and environment.

Fifth, earnestly safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of workers. We must adhere to the people-oriented concept and actively create a harmonious enterprise. We should do everything possible to provide jobs, sign and fulfill labor contracts according to law, adhere to the distribution according to work, equal pay for equal work, establish a normal wage growth mechanism, and pay social insurance in full and on time. We should constantly improve the working conditions and welfare benefits of workers, strengthen the quality education and training of workers and staff members, and promote the all-round development of staff and workers, so as to create conditions for the vast number of staff to bring their intelligence into full play and realize their own value. We should care about the life of staff and workers, earnestly solve problems for workers and workers, strive to build a harmonious labor relationship and contribute to the building of a harmonious society.

Sixth, actively support social welfare undertakings. Paying close attention to people's livelihood and giving back to society is the responsibility and obligation of an enterprise, and is also the traditional virtue of the Chinese nation. Enterprises should enthusiastically participate in social assistance and philanthropy, care and support the development of social undertakings such as education, culture and health, and encourage workers to volunteer to serve the society. Especially in the event of major natural disasters and emergencies, enterprises should attach importance to the overall situation and do everything they can to provide financial, material and human resources support and assistance, sharing weal and woe and promoting social harmony and stability.

We should also see that fulfilling corporate social responsibility is not only a conscious action of enterprises, but also a combination of government promotion, social supervision and industry self-discipline. We should further promote the implementation of the relevant laws and regulations, such as the labor law, the environmental protection law and the safety production act, intensify law enforcement, and resolutely correct and crack down on all kinds of illegal activities. We should help and support enterprises to establish the concept of social responsibility, strengthen the supervision of enterprises to fulfill their social responsibilities, and guide enterprises to conscientiously fulfill their social responsibilities. We should strengthen public opinion propaganda and actively create a good social atmosphere to promote enterprises to enhance their sense of social responsibility and conscientiously fulfill their social responsibilities.
