Doubt usually comes along when companies talk very proudly how socially responsible they are, but Nike’s decision to publish its entire list of contract (合同) suppliers on the Internet is harder to ignore. Nike’s move opens a new front in companies’ efforts to face their critics (批评家).

As Nike states in its latest corporate responsibility (共同责任) report, it is often hard to confirm exactly what is happening at about 800 factories that make its footwear and clothing under contract, many of which are remote.

Nike is hoping other companies will publish their factory lists, too. Hannah Jones, Nike’s vice – president for corporate responsibility, says Nike would like to see the best – run contract factories using their social position as suppliers to the big brands to try to get more work.

Nike’s approach moves corporate responsibility into its third age. The first age was corporate philanthropy – companies donating money to various community projects. The $ 170m that Wal – Mart gave in charitable donations last year is a good example. Of course, some critics oppose even this form of corporate generosity, arguing that companies should concentrate on making profits, leaving it to shareholders to decide what charitable donations to make.

Corporate responsibility’s second age was reputation management and risk avoidance. Second – age corporate responsibility supporters believe agreement with the wider community can warn a company of future risks in advance.

Nike is now trying to go a stage further. The company says it sees corporate responsibility as a way of improving its performance rather than just protecting its reputation. Factories which ensure that workers are registered for social – security benefits often become more productive as a result. Attention to one aspect of staff management often leads to improvement in others.

If other companies publish supplier lists, they can together work out common standards, Nike says. At present, different companies have different standards, which make life difficult for the many factories that produce for more than on brand. If other companies published suppliers’ locations, they could work out common standards and save money by relying on one another’s checks.

书面表达

It came as a pleasant surprise to us that China successfully carried out its first space walk, the country’s most challenging space mission. At the news, we talked about whether we should go on with Space Exploration. Most students interviewed are in favor of it because the Chinese people have been dreaming of going into outer space ever since before. Exploring space will help China to take part in the international competition in the future. Also, the development of science and technology makes it possible for China to realize the dream.

However, some students argue against it. In their opinion, China can’t afford Space Exploration which calls for a large amount of money. In addition, as a developing country, China is supposed to make every effort to solve other social problems.

When it comes to me, it’s necessary for us to explore space in that it will bring more benefits in the future, which we can not even imagine now. As a student, I feel not only happy but also proud of the great achievements made in this field. I will work hard so that I can make a contribution to our nation.
