《财富》：世界十大尽责公司？ 10 most 'accountable' big companies Fortune partnered with AccountAbility, Csrnetwork and Asset4 to rank the world's 100 largest corporations by the quality of their commitment to social and environmental goals. Here's what makes the top 10 stand out.1. Vodafone Accountability rank: 1 Accountability score: 77.7* Global 500 2008 rank: 85 The British cell-phone provider reclaimed the top spot in 2008 (it ranked No. 5 last year and No. 1 in 2006) by upping its green game. Vodafone in April said it would chop its carbon dioxide emissions in half by 2020; the company plans to do so largely by improving the energy efficiency of its global mobile-phone networks. Vodafone also gets good grades for reporting the details of the campaign - and whether or not it's going well - on a continuous basis. Such transparency apparently is part of the Vodafone culture: The firm reports its progress on past commitments, but also discloses deadlines for future promises, such as its pledge to recycle 95% of network equipment waste (March 2009) and plans to reduce work-related accidents that cause lost time by 10% (March 2011). Vodafone engages stakeholders on issues related to global competitiveness, and asks for their input in creating new products. Consequently, the business is a leading innovator of socially responsible products: Recent offerings include text-to-speech software for blind people and easy-to-use handsets for the elderly. 2. GE Accountability rank: 2 Accountability score: 70.2 Global 500 2008 rank: 12 While GE's recent drop in profits took investors by surprise, the technology and services giant has done a good job of reporting its citizenship activities to stakeholders. GE, which catapults from No. 13 in 2007, consistently provides updates on the progress of ambitious goals such as improving healthcare policy and establishing career training in developing countries. But the company's crown jewel is its Ecomagination initiative, a program that aims to expand GE's portfolio of environmentally friendly products and technologies. CEO Jeff Immelt recently announced that the initiative will produce revenues of $17 billion in 2008 - a 21% increase from the year before - from selling products such as ultra-efficient locomotives and advanced membranes that filter water. 3. HSBC Holdings Accountability rank: 3 Accountability score: 67.7 Global 500 2008 rank: 20 The U.K.-based bank climbed a rung higher this year, due in part to its performance during the financial meltdown. HSBC announced back in February 2007 that it was increasing its provision for toxic U.S. mortgages to $10.6 billion; by calling its losses earlier than most, the bank circumvented a nasty 2008 surprise. The bank's head of corporate sustainability, Teresa Au, has said that despite the economic situation, HSBC would continue to support its sustainability campaign. Initiatives include providing small businesses with sustainability insurance options and developing an index for climate change. The business has also boosted its management of ethical and socially responsible investing funds by 60% over the last two years. HSBC has an American unit that is dedicated to assisting local communities by promoting affordable homeownership, among other goals. 4. France Télécom Accountability rank: 4 Accountability score: 67.3 Global 500 2008 rank: 84 One of the biggest gainers on this year's list was France Télécom, which ranked No. 46 last year. In order to improve its corporate citizenship, the Paris-based corporation has created strict processes and reporting practices, and it has launched an extranet for sharing ideas with outsiders. France Télécom uses the research to initiate programs that benefit users and the communities it serves. Recent initiatives include the installation of solar power units in Senegal to extend network coverage, and the creation of Internet-based education programs for students in Jordan. 5. HBOS Accountability rank: 5 Accountability score: 66.2 Global 500 2008 rank: 45 HBOS expects to soon become part of another bank (in September, Lloyds TSB announced plans to purchase the struggling business for $22 billion), but its legacy of corporate responsibility stands apart from its peers. The company, which jumps from No. 8 last year, was the first major British bank to put carbon labels on financial service products (its Web Saver accounts), and it is working with the Carbon Trust, a government-created business that helps businesses reduce their carbon emissions, to create a mechanism for calculating the greenhouse gas released by computing those accounts. HBOS has also lent millions to support initiatives such as wind farms, hydroelectric projects, and biomass producers, and finances enough renewable energy to power two million homes. And the bank recently launched a pilot program for "green loans," in which it offsets three tons of carbon dioxide for each loan that's processed. 6. Nokia Accountability rank: 6 Accountability score: 63.8 Global 500 2008 rank: 88 If you want a spot on Nokia's supply chain, you'll have to play by the Finnish telecom-equipment maker's rules: environmentally friendly design, substance management, a healthy and safe workplace, and labor conditions that enforce workers' rights. Representatives of Nokia, a newcomer to the Accountability Rating, conduct onsite assessments of their suppliers, reporting breaches of requirements and advice on how to remedy their failings. They also work closely with their contributors to manage their products' life cycles: The company fully reports all of the materials that come in their cell phones. Being a good citizen has paid off for the telecom: AMR Research recently ranked Nokia's supply chain as the second best in the world based on turnover, revenue growth, and return on assets. 7. Électricité de France Accountability rank: 7 Accountability score: 62.3 Global 500 2008 rank: 68 EDF, which climbs 11 spots to No. 7, is driving France's status as the world's leading consumer of nuclear power. The company has the largest energy capacity in Europe, but it also boasts the smallest carbon footprint because about 75% of its production is nuclear. (Atom splitting doesn't cause global warming, but it can produce contamination, and watchdog group Criirad in July issued warnings when several EDF power stations produced leaks. EDF noted that the exposed employees didn't face health risks). EDF isn't solely invested in nuclear power, however: The utility has made commitments to developing methods of producing wind, solar, and geothermal energy. And while many corporations are only just beginning to invest in electric cars, EDF already runs 1,500 electric vehicles - the world's largest fleet. The business has set a goal of tripling by 2012 its renewable energy capacity, excluding hydroelectric power. 8. Suez Accountability rank: 8 Accountability score: 61.8 Global 500 2008 rank: 97 Suez, now called GDF Suez (the utility completed a merger in July with Gaz de France), boasts an entire division that's dedicated to sustainable development. At the head of the group is a steering committee composed of senior managers from the company's different business units, who work together to implement the company's vision across its branches. In the fall of 2007, Suez partnered with Volvo to build the world's first carbon dioxide-free car factory, which is powered by wind, biomass, and solar energy. The division's business group forged an agreement to build the water supply system for France's first "eco-neighborhood," Limeil-Brévannes. Suez, a newcomer to the Accountability Rating this year, also continues to promote its main line of business, natural gas, which is cleaner than oil. 9. BP Accountability rank: 9 Accountability score: 61.6 Global 500 2008 rank: 4 Is BP an environmental friend or foe? There's plenty of evidence supporting the latter: The oil and gas company, which was ranked No.1 last year, has paid millions of dollars in fines for pollution. One of the company's greatest missteps occurred in 2005, when its Texas City Refinery exploded because of mismanagement. But BP (the company changed its name from British Petroleum in 2000 to downplay its role as an oil producer) has also used its size for good, investing huge sums of money into renewable energy over the years, including $1.5 billion in 2008 alone. BP self-monitors its citizenship activities via independent advisory panels that evaluate projects on behalf of global stakeholders. BP has also shown that it learns from its mistakes: After the explosion at Texas City, the company created a safety, ethics, and environmental assurance committee to prevent such incidents from happening again. 10. Royal Dutch Shell Accountability rank: 10 Accountability score: 61.2 Global 500 2008 rank: 3 When crop-based biofuels such as ethanol began falling out of favor, Royal Dutch Shell, which is headquartered in the Netherlands, shifted gears toward the second generation of biofuels, quadrupling its R&D investments in new sources. One example: Shell partnered last December with a Hawaiian startup to produce a pilot facility for growing marine algae, which it hopes to convert into vegetable oil for use as fuel. But Shell, No. 6 last year, also faces charges from environmental groups of greenwashing, or using shallow claims of sustainability to cover up eco-unfriendly operations. In August, the World Wildlife Fund UK issued a public complaint about a Shell ad; the oil company touted its investments in renewable energy, but the WWF pointed out that the refinery depicted in the ad did not actually contribute to the cause.查看更多2个回答 . 1人已关注
