何謂「企業社會責任」?

企業社會責任的重要性已被各界確認，但至今仍未有一個受公認的釋義。根據公民教育委員會描述，「企業社會責任」一般指：
一間公司透過其核心業務、社會投資、慈善活動以及對市民的承諾，為廣大市民應作出的正面貢獻。要衡量這些貢獻，主要取決於企業對處理其經濟、社會及環境影響的態度；以及與不同持份者，特別是股東、員工、顧客、業務伙伴、政府、社區人士及年青人等建立良好關係的工作。

此定義只為企業提供方向，助企業訂立符合其營商環境及企業方針的社會責任意義，將理念融入營運和管理之中，以促進經濟、社會、環境的可持續發展。

普遍來說，「企業社會責任」的四大範疇包括：

1. 改善僱員及其家屬的現況

2. 企業應顧及經濟、社會及環境的可持續發展

3. 企業應以符合道德規範的方式辦事

4. 企業應對社會作出貢

Have you think about it ? Have you think any evacuation plan ? No way ! Most of us are still living in this planet after 5 years. We may only witness our ending with the demaged earth together when we do nothing today.

关于2008年世界环境日 (http://www.unep.org/wed/2008/)

世界环境日, 设立于每年6月5日，是联合国最重要的纪念日之一，旨为提高世界人们的环保意识和增强政治上的影响力。

2008年世界环境日的主题是“转变传统观念，推行低碳经济”。各国已经认识到气候变化正在发生这一不争的事实，联合国环境规划署要求各国政府、企业、社区关注如何采取措施，以减少温室气体的排放。世界环境日将重点关注如何促进建立低碳经济体系和生活方式，例如提高能源效率、寻找替代能源、保护森林以及生态友好型消费等。

2008年世界环境日的主要庆典活动将在新西兰举行。环境署十分高兴惠灵顿将举办这次联合国日的各项活动http://www.unep.org/chinese/documents/Kick_the_Habit_ch.pdf。浏览新闻稿

从广泛的意义上说，我们的议程旨在更侧重从人的角度出发来解决各种环境议题、使广大民众有能力成为实现可持续的和公证的发展目标的积极力量、促进各方更深入地理解：各民众社区正是改变人们对环境的观念的关键所作、以及倡导和推动建立一个确保各国和各族人民得以共享更安全和更繁荣的未来的伙伴关系。
