How Can China'S Textile Industry Take Into Account The Profits And Responsibilities Of Enterprises?

In recent years, with the continuous development and expansion of China's textile industry, textile enterprises take the initiative to undertake social responsibility, enhance the confidence and trust of stakeholders in enterprises, and make CSR a effective way to achieve industrial upgrading, technological innovation and brand building.

How to balance profits and responsibilities?

What exactly is

On the one hand, enterprises should pursue interests and fulfill their social responsibilities on the one hand. This seems to be a contradiction between contradictions.

"The enterprise carries out social responsibility is cost, this depends on the enterprise how to balance the current cost and long-term development interests."

Chen Shujin, vice president of China Textile Industry Association, said.

"The increase of workers' wages and the improvement of working environment all involve the increase of the cost of enterprises.

Only by investing more in scientific research, innovation and industrial upgrading can enterprises enhance their ability to create value by enhancing their ability to create value, and ensuring the implementation of corporate social responsibility.

Wang Qiming, chairman of Quanzhou Haitian material Polytron Technologies Inc, said.

"Why do we?

Du Yuzhou, President of the China Textile Industry Association, said at the press conference that the total wages of textile workers increased by 13.96% from January to May this year, while the output per capita increased by 24%. The proportion of workers' wages in unit costs did not rise, but decreased by 9.1%.

"This shows that workers' wage increase does not mean that enterprises must increase their costs, and those enterprises that increase their per capita output value are enterprises that attach importance to social responsibility."

"Responsibility" is also competitiveness.

A few years ago, when foreign people talked about the social responsibility of Chinese enterprises in labor and environment, Chinese textile industry was always prone to be accused of low price competition and sweatshops.

Today, however, the international accusation of China's textile enterprises' social responsibility has gradually disappeared.

This pformation is due to the launch of the 2005 Chinese social responsibility management system (CSC9000T) and the first domestic social responsibility disclosure guidelines for the Chinese textile industry, which regulate the "CSR-GATEs report" of China's textile and garment enterprises. It provides a solution for the textile and garment enterprises to coordinate the social development with economic means, and also establishes a responsible image of China's textile industry in the international supply chain.

At the 2010 China Textile and garment enterprises social responsibility report conference held recently, 8 leading textile companies, such as Quanzhou Haitian materials Polytron Technologies Inc, Huafu yarn dyed Limited by Share Ltd and so on, issued the corporate social responsibility report.

These reports were prepared in accordance with the requirements of CSR-GATEs and verified by third independent institutions.

Huang Zhuangfangrong, general manager of Changzhou Xu Rong knitting and dyeing Co., Ltd., has much sympathy for the image of Chinese textile enterprises in recent years.

"Overseas businessmen have a very high demand for corporate social responsibility, and we raise wages and pay more attention to environmental protection. The cost is higher than that of other enterprises, but we are increasingly aware that responsibility is also competitive."

"At an exhibition held in Shanghai in October last year, a Holland buyer saw the logo of our booth with CSR logo, and immediately identified our product, because the CSC9000T project we participated in was more stringent than many foreign certification."

Huang Zhuang Fang Rong said.

Before the introduction of CSC9000T, foreign buyers generally asked for a social responsibility inspection plant before placing orders for Chinese enterprises. The same enterprise may face several social responsibility inspection projects at several foreign institutions at the same time, resulting in the cost of manpower and financial resources resulting in the increase of product cost and the reduction of profit space.

At present, there are 10 industrial clusters and more than 100 enterprises that have established CSC9000T social responsibility management system. They not only have the solutions to fulfill their social responsibilities, but also respond readily to social responsibility inspection.

"Many people say that social responsibility is a cost and that social responsibility is a burden to enterprises.

However, CSC9000T pilot enterprises have proved with great amount of data that social responsibility construction is a catalyst for enterprises to enhance their competitiveness.

Sun Ruizhe said.

When it comes to corporate social responsibility, the first thing people think of is the treatment of employees.

"CSC9000T embodies the responsibility of enterprises to workers, and now the social responsibility of textile enterprises is gradually expanding from safeguarding labor rights and interests to environmental protection, energy conservation and emission reduction and maintaining fair market competition."

Du Yuzhou said.

"Social responsibility management is the only way to promote the adjustment and revitalization of textile industry and achieve sustainable development. It is also the basic way to promote textile enterprises to reduce costs and increase efficiency, improve product quality and competitiveness, and further strengthen the construction of social responsibility."

At the same time, Sun Ruizhe, director of the office of social responsibility of the China Textile Industry Association, believes that social responsibility is becoming the basic parameter of the industry development trajectory and the main variables of enterprise management and management. This will bring a completely different role to textile enterprises -- opportunities or challenges, and this kind of division based on social responsibility will become more obvious.

He said that from the micro level, the textile and garment industry shoulders the responsibility of protecting the rights and interests of workers, equal opportunities and dignity. From the meso level, the textile and garment industry also bears the responsibility of maintaining and improving the environment, improving the effective output rate of resources, and promoting the legalization and civilization of the market and society.

From a macro perspective, the textile and garment industry that absorbs about 20 million people is also responsible for providing, maintaining and promoting employment, protecting people's livelihood and social harmony, stabilizing and optimizing the international supply chain and value chain.

"In the first 20 years of twenty-first Century, the important opportunity for the textile industry will be pformed from a big textile country to a strong textile country. The next 10 years will be crucial."

Du Yuzhou said that the textile industry should continue to fulfill its social responsibilities, pay attention to environmental protection, and realize the dream of achieving a strong textile and technological power, brand power and sustainable development by promoting talent building and brand building.

"Our goal is to contribute to the building of a harmonious society by building a harmonious enterprise, a harmonious industrial cluster, a harmonious industry, and a harmonious global supply chain."

Du Yuzhou said.
