　　The first Corporate Social Responsibility Forum sponsored by China Newsweek will be held in Beijing on Feb.22, 2006.

　　China Newsweek sponsored by China News Services is a magazine mainly focusing on politics and economics news which has a wide range of readership and influence worldwide. The China News Services is a state-level news agency directly under the leadership of the Overseas Chinese Affairs Office of the State Council of the People’s Republic of China. It is mainly responsible for the overseas publicity work towards overseas Chinese and the compatriots in Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan.

　　Launched in the spirit of “to influence the influential people”, China Newsweek aims to promote social progress; and the Corporate Social Responsibility Forum serves as an important platform for the communications of the magazine.

　　Themed as “Global Responsibility Harmony Society ”, the forum is launched with a view to promote the communication and cooperation between the academic circles both at home and abroad and the public organizations and to galvanize the research and action on corporate social responsibility under the background of economic globalization and in light of China’s economic and social status quo.

　　The globalization is now increasingly and profoundly influencing the development of the whole world. The economic growth, industrial upgrading and cultural integration have brought tremendous changes in corporate traditional value and concept of responsibilities. Concerns for natural resources, global environment, labour rights and interests, business ethics and the shouldering of the obligations for the stakeholders and the whole society have now become the common trend among the enterprises globally. China is now in a transitional period of economic restructuring when the health and harmonious growth of the economy and the sharing of the fruits of the economic prosperity among different social classes have become the important issue of the new historical phase. To advocate the awareness of Corporate Citizen and call for their fulfilment of the social responsibilities is not only conducive to the further sound development of Chinese economy but also helpful to the integration of the Chinese economy with its global family.

　　The corporate social responsibility is deemed as its bottom line for the profits. Therefore, only those enterprises with a strong awareness of responsibilities can develop their time-honoured brands and sustain continued profit-making. As the corporate social responsibility is closely related to public policy, it not merely needs the moral motivations but more importantly, calls for the institutional guidance and the concerted efforts of the government, industry guilds and other public institutions to prompt the enterprises to fulfil their social responsibilities. The corporate social responsibility is also an issue at the cultural sphere, as the social responsibilities have become an indispensable part of the modern entrepreneurship and enterprise’s corporate value.

　　This forum will invite the leaders from relevant state ministries and committees, officials from international organizations, renowned scholars both at home and abroad, CEOs of the multinational enterprises and general managers of leading domestic enterprise who will have in-depth and thought-provoking discussions on corporate social responsibilities from a wide range of cultural, economic and social perspectives.

Open ceremony & Plenary

Keynote Forum：Global Responsibility Harmony Society   The globalization trend is now influencing the development of the world in an increasingly extensive and profound manner. Economic growth, industrial upgrading and the integration of cultures all have contributed to the great changes in the traditional values and concepts of corporate responsibilities. Paying attention to natural resources, ecological environment, rights and interests of labor, business ethics and shouldering responsibilities for stakeholders and the society as a whole is not only the general trend for the enterprises throughout the world, but also the interior demand of China in building a harmonious society. To realize social harmony and building a better society is the ever lasting aspiration of mankind and it is indispensable for multinational enterprises to shoulder responsibility for China and Chinese enterprises to take on responsibility for the whole globe.

Forum

Forum A:  Corporate Social Responsibility in Global View   With the accelerated pace of globalization, the concept of enterprises’ social responsibilities has increasingly become a topic under the context of globalization. On the one hand, enterprises of various countries are now going global and organizing production and allocating resources in various countries and regions; on the other hand, global cooperation among and between enterprises is becoming more elaborate, a huge value chain is thus taking shape. How can the enterprises fulfill the social responsibilities entailed by different regions and cultures and how to face up to the challenges posed by the transnational supply chain on the enterprises’ fulfillment of their social responsibilities? These are among the most important topics concerning corporate social responsibilities.   Forum B：The Opportunity of Social Responsibility Investment in China   Arising the enterprises’ awareness to their social responsibilities through investment is the irreplaceable function of the financial industry in its development of the social responsibility awareness. Though China is still far away from the improvement and perfection for its enterprise governance, information publicity and public investment, yet investment in the fulfilling of social responsibilities has already emerged in China. The banking, fund and insurance industries are attaching increasing importance to their investment in their social responsibilities, which will prompt the enterprises to fulfill more social responsibilities by taking up their obligations actively and voluntarily. Forum C: Innovation of China Charity System and International Experience Charity is the main channel for Chinese enterprises to fulfil Corporate Social Responsibility at the present time. To explore the status of Chinese charity, to promote the innovation of charity system, will provide a better institutional environment for corporate citizen to carry out its charitable function. Forum D: Public Security & Corporate Social Responsibility Social public security includes sanitation, environment, daily consumption and other aspects. Impelled by the urbanization and industrialization, the environment on which people rely and economic society structure is becoming sensitive and frail. Frequent public security accidents reveal the lack of the corporate social responsibility and government security system. The important topic of corporate social responsibility in China is to design a social security system from a strategic point of view and to guide enterprises to establish a culture in which enterprises are responsible for the environment and consumers during China’s economy and society transformation period, also at the primary stage of constructing the harmonious society.
