Hsun-Yin Huang
Introduction Now the CSR-Corporate Social Responsibility is becoming a slogan in the world, we ask the entrepreneur to do more feed back to the society, including protection of the labors, the sustainable operation of business, more important, to take more responsibility to the society, all those things need more money and to take more efforts to do. Every country has its own limitations and business structures, that we can’t ask the all business do things equally. Today, I’d like to share my thoughts about how can enterprises do the social responsibility in Taiwan. Firstly, I would introduce the characteristics of business structure in Taiwan and what can those enterprises take social responsibility without sacrificing the profit, the second part is about the bank’s social responsibility, and also the most important part is what the government should do. Think globally, act locally The concept of the Corporate Social Responsibility could be separated to 4 layers, first it needs to build the economic responsibility, which the enterprise exists for; the second layer is about the law responsibility, including obeying the law, building the safe industry for workers, etc. After achieving those goals, the third and the forth layers are ethnical and philanthropic responsibility, which are the final goal of corporate social responsibility, the concept includes sustainable development, for example, in order to save the trees, the enterprise advocates “no paper” activity. For most large enterprises, they are more willing to do social responsibility because they can save the cost or even create more profit after 10-20 years, all we know that, it takes some time to enjoy its benefit. Nowadays, the government tries to persuade the enterprises to take more social responsibilities, by doing that, the enterprise can have some advantages, for instance, they can free from the examinations of the Council of Labor affairs, and they can promote their products with the certification, that way they can build better image of the enterprise, and reach the goal of sustainable operation.
