CPPCC Member Huang Shaoliang: Calling For National Standards For Corporate Social Responsibility

Recently, CPPCC member and Standing Committee of China Federation of Returned Overseas Chinese

Huang Shaoliang believes that the core content of corporate social responsibility is "to provide quality products and services to the public, to meet the needs of social development, and to contribute to improving the quality of human life".

Its value lies in changing people's mind that corporate social responsibility is just the wrong concept of charity concept show, turning the enterprise's vision to the optimization of internal management and the combing of relevant stakeholders, so that enterprises can pass the values.

Reporters learned that the blue book on corporate social responsibility published by the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences in 2011 showed that there is no systematic, practical, authoritative and influential corporate social responsibility standard to guide and effectively promote corporate social responsibility management. The relevant corporate social responsibility provisions are scattered in the laws and regulations of the enterprise law and product quality law, and the relevant provisions are too principled, lack of maneuverability and compulsion.

Therefore, the formulation of the "national standard of corporate social responsibility" at the "legislative level" has become the focus of Huang's appeal.

Huang Shaoliang believes that the ISO26000 guidelines for social responsibility issued by the international standardization organization should be promoted to establish standards of social responsibility that conform to the different types of enterprises in China, and to clarify their responsibilities for shareholders, employees, society and environment.

In Huang Shaoliang's vision, this standard should have the following contents: first, the implementation of the internationally accepted report on corporate social responsibility.

It includes three parts: corporate social responsibility, environmental responsibility and economic responsibility. Two, enterprises must publish negative information truthfully; three, reports should be verified by third parties.

Huang Shaoliang suggested that the social responsibility of enterprises should be promoted into the assessment system of governments at all levels and the main leaders. At the same time, the government should inform the people's congresses and CPPCC at the same level the fulfillment of CSR within their jurisdiction.

It is necessary to set up a national non-profit organization, specially responsible for the certification of social responsibilities of domestic enterprises, establish a credible third party certification system, strengthen supervision and evaluation, intensify publicity and education, and establish a fair and reasonable market order.

"Issuing social responsibility report is not the ultimate goal. Truly assuming social responsibility is the true character of a qualified enterprise."

Huang Shaoliang emphasized.
