2009年2月10日,在比利時(shí)布魯塞爾有超過300名來自歐洲和世界商業(yè)界、金融界、民間社會、政策和學(xué)術(shù)界的代表出席了由歐盟委員會組織的多利益相關(guān)方論壇,探討歐洲致力于成為全球性CSR標(biāo)桿的雄心壯志——目前全球經(jīng)濟(jì)危機(jī)下從一種完全不同的角度來審視。與會者認(rèn)為,這場危機(jī)并不是企業(yè)遠(yuǎn)離CSR的一個(gè)信號,而正是企業(yè)能夠證明CSR價(jià)值的一個(gè)一勞永逸的機(jī)會。與會者還認(rèn)為,歐盟委員會和其他機(jī)構(gòu)應(yīng)在推進(jìn)CSR中發(fā)揮更積極的作用。歐盟委員會副主席費(fèi)爾霍伊根在講話中宣布了歐盟即將開展的一系列活動,例如要將歐盟對CSR的觀點(diǎn)植根于與第三國的關(guān)系之中;為支持國家層面的多利益相關(guān)方CSR平臺的籌資項(xiàng)目;和建立一個(gè)新的聯(lián)盟實(shí)驗(yàn)室,這個(gè)機(jī)構(gòu)旨在研究如何使得一些教育機(jī)構(gòu)能夠更好的培養(yǎng)未來的管理人員和企業(yè)家信奉一套新的價(jià)值觀。

Crisis as guest star at the European Multistakeholder Forum on CSR in Brussels
On 10 February, over 300 (and far more through online broadcast) European and international stakeholders from business, finance, civil society, policy and academia gathered at the Multistakeholder Forum hosted by the European Commission to diagnose Europes ambition to become a global pole of excellence on CSR – an ambition which the current economic and financial crisis is putting into a radically different perspective. All stakeholders agreed that far from signaling the end of CSR, the crisis is the moment for CSR to prove its worth once and for all. Vice-President Günter Verheugen in his speech announced some follow-up initiatives, such as: ensuring that Europes view on CSR is embedded in the EUs relations with third countries; and a new Alliance Laboratory to examine how teaching institutions could better equip future managers and entrepreneurs with a new set of values.

Drive to Promote Cost-Effective Energy Resources Grows in China
Joining the California-based China-U.S. Energy Efficiency Alliance, U.S. energy provider Ecos has joined the effort to save carbon emissions and reduce the number of power plants required to meet Chinas growing electricity consumption. Such efforts have the potential to meet up to 50 percent of Chinas expected electric load growth by 2014—saving enough energy to avoid the construction of more than 500 new power plants over the next 10 years.
Corporate Giants Ask EU to Help Finance Products for the Poor
Consumer goods giants Groupe Danone and Unilever N.V.—along with other multinationals including Johnson & Johnson, Microsoft Corporation, Nestlé S.A., Novartis AG, The Procter & Gamble Company, and Vodaphone Group Plc—have asked the EU to help businesses sell affordable products to the worlds “base-of-the-pyramid” consumers—the 3.1 billion people who live on less than US$2.50 per day. To date, the EU has not directed any of its £46 billion aid budget to development through for-profit means. The companies stressed that bottom-of-the-pyramid business requires a new business model that involves partnerships with local NGO expertise. International development campaigners are skeptical of the plan.
Denmark to Require CSR Reporting for Big Companies
The Danish Parliament passed the “Social Responsibility for Large Businesses” law, requiring about 1,100 of the largest private and state-owned companies and institutional investors to include information on their corporate social responsibility (CSR) policies, practices, and achievements beginning in 2010. Reporting can be part of a management review, an annual report, or on the companys website, as long as it is publicly accessible.
Obama Calls for Tougher State Emissions Requirements, Upsets Automakers
U.S. President Obama has cleared the way for California, and up to 18 other states, to consider setting limits on vehicle carbon dioxide emissions that are tougher than federal requirements. He also directed the Department of Transportation to set vehicle fuel efficiency standards for 2011 by March—both clear steps away from the Bush administrations climate policy. But given the auto industrys financial troubles—automakers warned that stricter standards would add to their financial woes.
