企业社会责任的缺陷与社会企业的兴起

The Defects of CSR and the Rise of Social Enterprises

企业社会责任本质上是自愿性质的、消极的、不可强制的机制,不足以解决企业产生的社会问题。企业法已经开始从政府监管转向将社会与环境责任融入其中的新型混合目的的法律实体,即社会企业。近期欧美国家掀起了认可社会企业法律地位的浪潮。社会企业是对企业社会责任的一个质的飞跃。建议我国学习英美的模式,将社会企业作为一种特殊公司实体,为社会企业注入市场活力,以发挥市场优势去实现社会目标。

Being essentially a voluntary, negative and unenforceable mechanism, Corporate Social Responsibility(CSR) is not able to solve the social problems concerning enterprises. Enterprise law has begun to turn from government regulation to the regulation of social enterprise, which, as a new legal entity, has a hybrid of social and environmental responsibility. Recent years have witnessed a wave of recognizing the legal status of social enterprises in Europe and US. The social enterprise is a qualitative leap for CSR. It is suggested that China learn from the mode of US and UK which views social enterprise as a special entity of company and that China inject market activity into social enterprises so as to give play to the market advantages in reaching the goal of our society.
