加强企业社会责任推动和谐社会建设——在“中国-瑞典企业社会责任高层论坛”上的演讲Strengthening CSR for a Harmonious Society---Speech at the Sino-Swedish CSR High-level Forum商务部副部长于广洲（2008年4月14日）By Yu Guangzhou, Vice Minister of CommerceApril 14, 2008尊敬的赖因费尔特首相，各位来宾，女士们、先生们：Your Excellency Prime Minister Reinfeldt,Delegates, Ladies and gentlemen,下午好！Good afternoon.四月的北京，春意盎然，鲜花盛开。
值此美好时刻，我们迎来了“中国—瑞典企业社会责任高层论坛”的召开。
去年6月胡锦涛主席访问瑞典期间，商务部与瑞典外交部代表两国政府签署了《关于企业社会责任合作的谅解备忘录》，标志着两国在这一领域的合作正式启动，对促进两国经济的持续稳定健康发展具有十分重要的意义。
今天，两国朋友们齐聚一堂，就企业社会责任开展深入交流，必将对两国企业社会责任建设产生积极的影响。
Here in Beijing in April, spring is high in the air and flowers are in full blossom. On this delightful day, we celebrate the convening of theSino-Swedish CSR High-level Forum. Last June during the visit of President Hu Jintao to Sweden, the Chinese Ministry of Commerce and Swedish Ministry for Foreign Affairs signed an MOU on Cooperation in CSR on behalf of their respective governments, which officially kicked off our bilateral CSR cooperation and was vitally important for the sustained, steady and sound development of our economies. Today, we have Chinese and Swedish friends gathered here to discuss in greater depth on the topic of CSR, which I believe will positively shape our future CSR collaboration.企业社会责任运动自上世纪80年代兴起后，已经成为世界潮流。
强调企业社会责任，就是要求企业对投资者负责的同时，对员工负责，对消费者负责，对商业伙伴负责，对环境和社会负责。
国内外企业的成功经验表明，社会责任也是企业的品牌，是企业核心竞争力的组成部分，是企业长盛不衰的重要法宝。
企业要生存和发展，就必须增强社会责任意识，积极履行社会义务。
我们有理由相信，未来的企业竞争，将不再仅仅是产品的竞争、技术的竞争和人才的竞争，更是履行社会责任的竞争。
“赠人玫瑰，手有余香”。
企业在履行社会责任、促进社会和谐的同时，自身也会得到更大的发展。
Since the 1980s, CSR has gone from being a new term to a global trend. Putting emphasis on CSR means companies not only have to be responsible to their investors, but also to their employees, customers,business partners, and to the environment and society. International success stories also show that CSR is part of a company’s brand image and its core competitiveness. It is a vital source of sustained prosperity for business. So in order to survive and grow, it is imperative that companies should raise their CSR awareness and actively fulfill their social responsibilities. We have every reason to believe that future business competition will diversify from specific products, technology and talents toward CSR performance. As the proverb goes, “The rose is in her hand and the fragrance in mine”, companies benefit from their efforts to honor CSR and promote social harmony.随着社会主义市场经济的逐步完善，中国大多数企业的社会责任意识也在不断增强。
它们恪守诚信，合法经营，努力为国内外消费者提供高质量的商品，注重节约，保护环境，努力履行社会义务。
一些企业还主动发布社会责任报告，公开履行社会责任状况，自觉接受社会监督。
当然，受经济发展水平和发展阶段的制约，中国经济增长方式还比较粗放，能源资源消耗多，环境保护压力大，少数企业还存在一些片面追求经济效益、忽视社会责任的行为。
As the socialist market economy gradually improves, there is also a growing sense of social responsibility among the vast majority of Chinese companies. They abide by the code of ethics and lawful operation and are committed to providing high-quality products for domestic andforeign consumers. They pay attention to conservation, environmental protection and CSR fulfillment. Some companies go even further by publishing their CSR reports to disclose their CSR performance and to voluntarily subject themselves to public scrutiny. Of course, constrained by the level and stage of its economic development, China still practices a rough-edged economic growth model, featuring high energy and resources consumption and high environmental costs. A handful of companies are still single-mindedly seeking profits and turning a blind eye to their social responsibilities.中国政府历来重视企业社会责任建设，尤其是近年来的工作力度明显加大。
2007年，商务部联合环保部门下发了《关于加强出口企业环境监管的通知》，限制不履行社会环境责任的企业从事对外贸易；出台了《国家级经济技术开发区加强社会责任的若干意见》，要求开发区企业加强履行社会责任；还调整了加工贸易政策，禁止不履行社会责任的企业开展加工贸易。
国资委出台了《中央企业履行社会责任的指导意见》，要求央企带头履行社会责任。
今年1月1日中国开始实施的新《劳动合同法》，为建设和谐的劳资关系奠定了法律基础。
相信在企业和政府部门的共同努力下，中国的企业社会责任建设将不断取得新的成就。
The Chinese government has consistently attached great importance to the CSR initiative and has intensified its efforts in recent years. In 2007,MOFCOM joined the former CEPA in issuing the Circular on Enhancing Environmental Surveillance on Exporting Enterprises, to restrict socially irresponsible enterprises from conducting foreign trade. It promulgated the Opinions on Strengthening CSR at State Economic and Technological Development Zones, to urge enterprises based in development zones to better fulfill their CSR. It also adjusted its processing trade policy to ban CSR-neglecting enterprises from doing processing trade. In parallel, SASAC published the Guidelines on CSR Fulfillment by Central-level Enterprises, demanding a leadership by central-level enterprises in CSR implementation. The new Labor Contract Law which became effective on January 1, 2008 laid a legal foundation for a harmonious employer-employee relationship. I believe through the joint efforts in public and private sectors, CSR will continue to make new progress in China.个人认为，今后中国企业的社会责任建设要贯穿“一条主线”，突出“三个结合”，实现“四个和谐”。
