全球500強(qiáng)企業(yè)在高等教育中的責(zé)任
很多大型企業(yè)都有一個(gè)社會(huì)責(zé)任基金，全球500強(qiáng)企業(yè)更是在社會(huì)投資與建設(shè)方面扮演著非常重要的角色，高等教育也與企業(yè)緊密結(jié)合，相互作用，聯(lián)合國教科文組織也在日前發(fā)布了一項(xiàng)報(bào)告，呼吁民間資產(chǎn)更大更有效益地投入教育之中。
A new report from the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) calls for greater investment in education funding from the world’s highest-revenue companies – the Fortune Global 500. Titled “Business Backs Education”, the report reveals that Fortune Global 500 companies spent a total of US$2.6 billion on education-related initiatives in 2013, comprising 13% of their combined corporate social responsibility (CSR) budget. By 2020, UNESCO says that should be 20%.
聯(lián)合國教科文組織在一項(xiàng)題為“商業(yè)支持教育”的新報(bào)告中，呼吁全國500強(qiáng)企業(yè)增加對(duì)教育的投資。該報(bào)告指出全球財(cái)富500強(qiáng)企業(yè)在2013年為教育投資了26億美元，占社會(huì)投資預(yù)算的13%，到2020年時(shí)，所占比例應(yīng)為20%.
How do Global 500 companies support education?
Less than half of Global 500 companies were found to allocate any CSR funding to higher education, and just 4.3% of CSR investments went towards higher education funding schemes such as scholarships, grants, infrastructure and research resources.
全球500強(qiáng)企業(yè)怎樣支持教育?
全球500強(qiáng)企業(yè)中只有不到一半的企業(yè)把社會(huì)責(zé)任基金投入高等教育，而其中也只有4.3%的企業(yè)社會(huì)責(zé)任基金以獎(jiǎng)學(xué)金、研究經(jīng)費(fèi)、基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施建設(shè)經(jīng)費(fèi)等形式投入了高等教育。
Between 2011 and 2013, the Global 500’s top 10 investors in education were Banco Santander, IBM, Telefonica, ExxonMobil, Target, GlaxoSmithKline, Microsoft, Toyota Motor, Rio Tinto Group and Wells Fargo. Of these, ExxonMobil was the leader in higher education funding, allocating US$47.3 million to CSR activities in this field in 2013.
在2011-2013年間，全球500強(qiáng)企業(yè)中教育投資前10強(qiáng)的公司是：Banco Santander, IBM, Telefonica, ExxonMobil, Target, GlaxoSmithKline, Microsoft, Toyota Motor, Rio Tinto Group and Wells Fargo. 當(dāng)然，?？松梨诠臼歉叩冉逃顿Y中的佼佼者，2013年該公司投資教育企業(yè)社會(huì)基金高達(dá)4730萬美元。
Recommendations for more effective education funding
UNESCO argues that funding for education continues to lag seriously behind global demand, and that education has long been neglected by CSR initiatives, which have tended to focus on sectors such as healthcare. The report concludes with a set of recommendations for companies, outlining strategies for more effective CSR activities in the education sector. Key points include: thinking long-term; ensuring CSR projects are well-integrated with business models; focusing on needs-based initiatives; and coordinating effectively with other agencies. Simply investing more cash may not always lead to the biggest impact, the report argues; instead, approaches based on effective innovation and collaboration may lead to better outcomes in the long run.
怎樣更有效地投資教育
聯(lián)合國教科文組織指出，教育經(jīng)費(fèi)依然不夠充足，在企業(yè)社會(huì)基金中教育投資所占比例也一直遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)落后于醫(yī)療投資。報(bào)告中包含一系列關(guān)于提高教育投資效益的
建議，比如以長(zhǎng)遠(yuǎn)角度來規(guī)劃、確保企業(yè)社會(huì)基金與商業(yè)目的完好結(jié)合、與其他機(jī)構(gòu)有效配合等等。當(dāng)然投資得越多不一定就能帶來越大的效益，但是從長(zhǎng)遠(yuǎn)看來，它可能會(huì)帶來更大的效益。
