Publishing social responsibility report is a responsibility that petrochemical companies must fulfill

On March 20th, China National Petroleum Corporation (hereinafter referred to as CNPC) released the “PetroChina 2007 Corporate Social Responsibility Report”. According to the report, in 2007, China’s oil sales exceeded RMB 1 trillion for the first time, and taxes were paid in 1975. Billion; China produced 106.65 million tons of crude oil and 54.2 billion cubic meters of natural gas, an increase of 1.01 million tons and 10 billion cubic meters respectively over the previous year. The overseas crude oil production exceeded 60 million tons, and natural gas production reached 5.4 billion cubic meters, an increase of 10.2% and 7% year-on-year respectively. It processed more than 120 million tons of crude oil throughout the year, an increase of 5.86 million tons over the same period of last year, and a refining processing load of over 98%. In the case of a loss in the refining business, a total of 82.8 million tons of resources were put into the domestic market throughout the year, which effectively guaranteed stable supply in the domestic market. At the same time, PetroChina has invested more than one billion yuan in public welfare funds to carry out poverty alleviation, education, and disaster relief activities. This is the year the company has invested the most. As the safety and environmental protection situation has stabilized and improved, energy conservation and emission reduction have seen practical results, and total energy consumption and total pollutant discharge have steadily declined throughout the year. In the whole year, 1.4 million tons of standard coal was saved and water was saved by 55 million cubic meters, and 21.2% and 21.6% of the total energy-saving and water-saving goals for the “Eleventh Five-Year Plan” were completed. The major pollutants COD and petroleum emissions decreased by 4.4% and 13.2%, respectively. (From Xinhua News Agency)

Through this set of data, we have seen that in addition to energy protection as the most important social responsibility in 2007, PetroChina is still safety, environmental protection, energy conservation and emission reduction, especially in poverty alleviation, education, disaster relief, etc. The investment in social welfare has increased significantly. In the era of profit-oriented enterprise competition turning to full-scale responsibility competition, this fully demonstrates that CNPC, as a monopoly industry, is actively fulfilling its major social responsibilities while also using actual actions to reward society and its people.

In the process of building social responsibility, the enterprise itself will be the ultimate beneficiary of social responsibility construction. Advanced enterprises with social responsibility concept can better absorb external resources with lower cost and more value, and integrate these resources with their own resources to form stronger competitiveness. Therefore, international oil companies such as BP, Shell, and Exxon have already published the practice of reporting on social responsibility, announced clear, transparent, and corporate responsibility responsibilities, and gained more public support and praise for buying products from companies. Finally, it achieved double profit.

Therefore, the release of social responsibility reports by petrochemical companies can be said to be a good thing for the country and the people. On the one hand, it publishes social responsibilities fulfilled by the company in an open manner, informs its status quo, plans and measures, accepts people's supervision and suggestions in a transparent state, and enables non-consecutive monopolistic petrochemical enterprises to establish dialogue mechanisms with the public. Changed from passive to active, and strived for public understanding, especially in the sound of various price hikes and pollution, it could gradually break the situation of “forcing Gong” and create a favorable situation; on the other hand, as companies actively released social responsibility reports, and Continuously increasing investment in public welfare and environmental protection will inevitably make the public change their views and change their attitude. This will undoubtedly play a good role in improving the relationship between petrochemical enterprises and the public, and it will also become a building of a harmonious society. Important aspects. At the same time, we must also note that China's social responsibility report has not yet formed a mature system, and there are various deficiencies and areas that need improvement. Therefore, the "Guiding Opinions on Performing Social Responsibility of Central Enterprises by the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission" in the near future has opened a good head for the continuous improvement of the social responsibility report. The comments require that the central enterprises regularly publish a social responsibility report and enter the evaluation system of the central enterprises, which will not only The company's social responsibility report is regularized, and it is also legalized. While allowing companies to better fulfill their social responsibilities, they continuously strengthen the transparency of the report and form a public and legal dual supervision and evaluation system.

The issuance of corporate social responsibility report is an initiative behavior of outstanding enterprises actively participating in social responsibility competition. As a stable petrochemical enterprise, the release of social responsibility report has both the role of stabilizing the society and the role of dissolving social conflicts and developing harmony. Therefore, the release of a social responsibility report should become a petrochemical company must fulfill its responsibilities and obligations.
