Will companies practice their social responsibility under the circumstance of surviving the market?
"Last year, from October to December, total output increased by 1%, output per capita increased by 22.75%, and benefit per capita increased by 33.53 percent compared to the same period in 2006," On June 19th, said Yang Xun, vice board chairman and general manager of Glorious Sun Group, in the Launch Conference of China Sustainability Reporting-Guidelines for Apparel and Textile Enterprises (2008) and Annual Report on Social Responsibility of China Textile and Apparel Industry 2007.
The memory of the initial decision to implement social responsibility remains fresh in Yang's memory. In 2006, he participated in the Annual Conference on CSR for China Textile and Apparel Industry. After that, he believed CSC9000T was a good way to promote company's development, and thus selected a garment factory to implement it.
"Practicing social responsibility can also raise labour productivity, like two sides of a coin which supplement each other." said Du Yuzhou, president of China National Textile and Apparel Council and China National Garment Association. "Social responsibility can drive the management level, and can help study the potential of each session around the supply chain system." To establish a social responsibility management system is to get rid of the extensive form of development, and achieve a sustainable development system. However, the establishment of social responsibility system can not be accomplished overnight; many problems still wait to be solved. At present, many companies have realized that practicing social responsibilities can reduce the risk of employment and establish positive company image.
