外文翻译原文Sustainability report 2009Material Source: HSBC bank website /1/2/HSBC in ContextHSBC is “the world local bank” .we serve around 100million individual and business customers around the word .Some 300,000 people work for us in 8,000offices in Europe, the Asia-pacific region , North America , Latin America and the Middle East.Headquartered in London, HSBC has listings on the London, Hong Kong, New York, Paris and Bermuda stock exchanges, with over 220,000shareholders in 121 countries and territories.As the world’ leading international and emerging markets bank , we provide a comprehensive rang of financial services to customers in both mature and faster-growing economies .we organize our business by two customer groups, Personal Financial Services and Commercial Banking; and two global business, Global Banking and Markets and Private Banking.HSBC’s strategy is aligned with three important long-term global trends: emerging markets will grow faster than developed markets, world trade will grow faster than GDP, and longevity is increasing across the world.Financing a low Carbon EconomyThe potential opportunities presented by climate change mitigation and adaptation are already beginning to change the way we think about how we do business.In last year’s report, we acknowledged that we needed to improve our understanding of the risk and opportunities that must be addressed in the low carbon economy, to build capacity to ensure we were able to support customer needs, and to look specifically at the insurance business.HSBC has begun to address these changes not only planning a route for the Group to contribute to a low carbon world, but also by helping our customer to do so. We are examining how our own business operations will be affected, taking a closerlook at some of the key sectors that will help make this transformation a reality, and are investigation opportunities for the bank in the new’ climate business’ sector.Climate Change Benchmark IndexThe HSBC Climate Change Benchmark Index tracks the stock-market performance of global companies already profiting from the transition to a low carbon economy. It includes companies that generate revenue from products and services for both mitigating and adapting to climate change. Reviewed quarterly, the index includes more than 380 companies and is used by three of the 10 largest pension schemes in the world as well as some of the world’s largest asset managers to inform their investment choices.Leading climate change researchResearch from HSBC’s Quantitative Research team estimates that the size of the “climate business” sector –the value of products and services linked to resolving the issue of climate change—is now more than us$530billon and could exceed us$2 trillion by 2020.Investment in clean energy and other climate solutions is expected to increase over the next 12 months, prompted by continuing government support and improving credit market conditions.In 2009, the HSBC Climate Change Centre of Excellence produced 30 reports on climate change science, policy and markets. These included a comprehensive analysis of the fiscal stimulus for climate-related investments. By the end of 2009, the centre estimated that US$21billion in “green stimulus”had been allocated by government across the world, with the Asia-Pacific region leading the way with over 60 per cent of the total. The centre also produced a series of reports on the prospects for –and implications of –the UN climate summit in Copenhagen in December 2009.Finally, the centre produced the first comparative assessment of the vulnerability of the G-20 nations to climate impacts through to 2020. These reports help our clients identify risks and opportunities and make informed investment and business decisions.Valuing Our EmployeesHSBC seek to develop and maintain a culture in which our employees are open to different ideas and cultures, and connected with our customers, communities and each other. We strive to be dependable and to ‘do the right thing’ in all aspects of our business.In 2009, 91 percent of employees responded to our third employee questionnaire, the Global People Survey-one of the highest participation rates in thefinancial services industry. The Group’s employee engagement score rose from 67per cent in 2008 to 71per cent in 2009. this exceeded the 2009 target of 69 per cent and out performed the external’best in class’average for aspects related to corporate sustainability, reputation and direct line management.The ‘best in class’ score is a comparison of the top quartile employee survey scores form other large organizations and a specially commissioned research study. This is the benchmark against which HSBC measures its performance. The decline in ‘best in class’ scores in 2009 is a reflection of the impact of change in the winder business environment on those organizations.In 2010, we will focus on leadership, developing line manager capability and building a stronger customer focus in our employees.Retaining talentAn important aspect of our People Strategy is to ensure alignment of career development with strategic business requirements. We seek to integrate important people processes such as succession planning, performance management and career development with our annual business operating cycle. Development needs for talented individuals are met trough a combination of on-the-job experience, coaching and training programmers.In 2009, we clarified the type of behavior expected of all levels of HSBC’s management Based on the premise that leadership is a quality that is important at all levels of seniority; the new HSBC Leadership Capability Framework identifies the qualities of leadership needed in management to drive Group Strategy. In 2010, we are integrating this framework into learning programmers, performance management and recruitment.HSBC Group level learning programmers, designed to develop the most senior and capable in individuals, were updated in 2009 with the aim of building capability in the following areas: Strategy and Performance; Change Management; Customer Experience; People Leadership; and Risk Management.Managing changeWe support employees at risk of redundancy. We always give notice, provide severance pay and offer assistance such as helping to pursue job opportunities internally and externally. Regrettably, due to the operating economic and business environment, it was necessary to make redundancies in 2009. We provide severance pay and offer assistance such as helping to pursuer job opportunities internally and externally. Regrettably, due to the operating economic and business environment, itwas necessary to make redundancies in 2009.We provide line management with specific training to manage such difficult changeEmployee satisfaction with Corporate SustainabilityOf the 14 aspects measured in the Global People Survey, Corporate Sustainability was the highest scoring at 79 per cent. This was an improvement of 2 percentage points on 2008 and 11 percentage points on 2007. When benchmarked externally, Corporate Sustainability at HSBC is 25 per cent above the global average and 12 per cent above the global ‘best in class’average. Employees reported favorable responses (see table) in the Global People Survey to the statement: Overall I am satisfied with the actions HSBC is taking to embed sustainability (e.g. environmental and social issues) into the way we run our business.Employees also gave favorable responses (see table) to the statement: I am actively encouraged to participate in community and environmental initiatives. Significantly more employees (44 per cent in 2009 compared with 35 per cent in 2008) said that they had participated in HSBC’s Corporate Sustainability activities. Employees who participate in such activities have considerably higher levels of engagement than those who do not, and are significantly more engaged across all aspects measured. Generally, the results show that employees are highly satisfied with HSBC’s Corporate Sustainability efforts, and are increasingly encouraged to take part in these activities.Investing in communitiesEducationOur flagship global education initiative is Future First, a five-year programmer launched in 2006 to a better future for disadvantaged children around the world. We work with SOS Children’s villages, among other charities, with the shared aim of providing access to education and life skills training. So far, more than 200 projects across 45 countries have benefited some 200,000 children.Financial and business literacy is fundamental to economic growth in developed and emerging markets, promoting trust in banks, and encouraging a responsible approach to managing loans and mortgages. According to a UK charity, Personal Finance Education Group, 66 per cent of British people believe that finance lessons would have helped them deal with today’s financial challenges.JA More Than Money is our global programmer addressing financial education and business literacy. Run in partnership with Junior Achievement Worldwide, in its pilot year in 2008-09, 1,500 HSBC staff volunteers taught financial skill to over46,000 children in 14 countries and territories. In 2009-10, the project has been expanded to 32 countries. JA is one of the world’s largest organizations dedicated to educating students about workforce readiness, entrepreneurship and financial literacy.In 2009, we launched the HSBC Eco-Schools Climate Initiative in partnership with the Foundation for Environmental Education. This is a three-year project involving 1,000 HSBC staff volunteers in 10 countries and reaching an estimated 1.2 million young people aged five to 18. The aim of the programmer is to inspire action on climate change by improving schools’ environmental efficiency.EnvironmentThe HSBC Climate Partnership is our flagship global environmental programmer, launched in 2007 with The Climate Group, Earth-watch and WWF to combat climate change by inspiring individuals, businesses and governments worldwide. Our achievements in 2009 are set out below.CitiesThe Climate Group is working in Beijing, Chicago, Hong Kong, London, and Mumbai, New York and to Toronto to boost the use of low carbon technologies. For example, in 2009 The Climate Group launched the Hong Kong Carbon Reduction Campaign-the first cross-industry collaboration on climate change by companies in Hong Kong –and co-founded the Mumbai Energy efficiency projects in the city.LearningIn 2009, a further 484 HSBC employees were trained as Climate Centre across the globe. The training, which is provided by Earth watch scientist, involves conducting field research into how temperate and tropical forests are responding to climate change. Since the HSBC Climate Partnership was launched, over 10,000 days of scientific filed research have been conducted by Earth watch scientist, local communities and HSBC employees.RiversThrough the HSBC Climate Partnership, WWF has helped to increase the number of protected areas in China’ central and lower Yangtze River delta coveringa total area of 1.65 million hectares. The protected areas will not only help safeguard50 threatened species, but will also provide land where large floods-which are predicted to increase as a result of climate change-can be absorbed, thereby protecting local communities.WWF has been tasked by the Chinese government with extending the ProtectedArea Network to the entire Yangtze River by the end of 2010. HSBC has alsocontinued to support WWF’s freshwater programmers in Brazil, India and the UK.ConclusionBased on the results of our procedures, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that, for the year ended 31 December 2009, the selectedinformation has not been fairly stated in all material respects in accordance withHSBC’s Reporting Guidance.译文汇丰银行2009年可持续发展报告资料来源:汇丰银行网站ht t p://ww w.h s bc.co m/1/2/ 汇丰景况汇丰是“世界本地银行”。
1、Who is FSC? 誰是FSC?2、What is COC and Why COC? 什么是COC,为何需要COC?3、How to certify COC? 如何认证COC?4、FSC/COC quotationdetails? FSC/COC认证报价需要了解的信息?誰是FSC?FSC(The Forest Stewardship Council),简称FSC认证。
FSC是由世界自然基金会组织1993年在加拿大多伦多创建的一个非盈利性国际组织。
在建立大会上,来自25个国家的130名代表和其他具有广泛代表性的组织(例如森林工作者组织、社会和本土组织、木材工业和国际环境组织)参加了这次会议。
FSC是一个独立的、非赢利性的非政府组织,它的总部设在德国波恩。
FSC旨在促进对环境负责、对社会有益和在经济上可行的森林经营活动,为实现这些目标它倡导自愿、独立、第三方认证为主要的方法手段。
其宗旨就是联合全世界的人们一起解决因不正当采伐而造成的森林损坏,并提倡负责任的管理和开发森林。
因此,FSC认证是世界森林贸易网络(GFTN)的入会门槛。
每个国家的认证都是建立在10个通用的准则和森林评价标准。
主要包括社会的、环境的和经济的因素。
林业管理者和评价人员依据这些因素进行认证。
►FSC认证分为森林经营(FM)和产销监管链(CoC)认证。
FSC对认证本身并不感兴趣,它关注的是认证对林地造成的影响。
FSC原则与标准描述了如何经营森林以使其满足当代人和后代人的社会、经济、生态、文化和精神的需求,其中包括管理层面,以及对环境和社会方面的要求。
►FSC就产品的可追溯性进行认证,消费者可以通过证书号码查询到所购买的木制品原材料产地。
林业单位和木质品加工与贸易企业可以通过FSC认证来获得具有社会责任感的消费群体的认可。
通过FSC认证,可以追踪木制品从森林到消费者的整个过程,从而控制木材的合法性和确保其良好的来源,以及森林生态系统的完整性。

虽然我国目前上市公司现金分红的家数比重已经有较大提高,但分红水平仍然普遍较低,使得股东回报结构中的分红收益和资本利得长期处于失衡状态,相对于资本利得,分红收益对股东的吸引力很低,投机行为盛行。
为改善股东回报结构,促进我国资本市场的健康发展,应该提高上市公司的分红水平,本文提出以下政策建议:1.监管层加强监管为了保护投资者利益,培养证券市场的长期投资理念,监管层继续推进鼓励上市公司现金分红政策,使现金分红与上市公司再融资、年度考核等联系起来;监督上市公司完善利润分配的内部决策机制;同时加强上市公司对股利分配政策和实施情况的信息披露,完善相关信息披露制度,并且提高监管检查和惩罚力度。
2.上市公司完善内部决策机制按照有关规定,利润分配方案需经公司董事会和股东大会的决策,由于上市公司普遍存在“一股独大”现象,且小股东实际参与投票不多,所以是否进行现金分红基本决定于大股东,存在内部人控制现象。
因此,上市公司需要完善内部决策机制,鼓励小股东积极参与决策并为其参与投票提供更加便利的条件,提高小股东对利润分配的认知和参与热情,从而保护其投资利益。
3.不同发展阶段的上市公司区别对待一味强调或要求全部上市公司进行高比例的现金分红也未必有利于保护股东的利益,应该区别对待。
对于累计盈余丰厚、现金流量充足且处于稳定发展阶段的公司应鼓励其实施较高的现金分红比例,而对于处于高速发展,急需资本扩展阶段的公司则不应强制要求高比例现金分红。
同时上市公司应对其所实施的分红政策及政策的变化有充分、合理的解释,并及时进行披露,保护广大投资者的知情权。

汇丰可持续发展战略汇丰可持续发展战略:商业经营“企业社会责任”2009-10-17 11:05:35 来源: 经济观察报(北京) 跟贴 0 条手机看新闻经济观察网记者胡蓉萍汇丰银行近日启动了其全球第五个区域性气候中心。
这个名为“汇丰与气候伙伴同行”的项目,早在2007年斥资1亿美元揭开序幕,主要用于支持减缓气候变化对城市、水、森林和人类影响的研究工作。
经济观察网记者就该项目和汇丰全球的可持续发展战略,独家专访了汇丰银行全球企业可持续发展总监西蒙·马丁。
他认为可持续发展不是在做慈善,而是应该像经营商业一样来经营可持续发展。
这包括利用“绿色贷款”政策鼓励企业走在可持续发展的道上;另外,通过推出环球气候变化基准指数,追踪那些最可能从应对气候变化中获益的主要公司的股价表现,让机构更有把握地投资于气候变化事业。
经济观察网:你觉得可持续发展战略项目的工作问题和挑战是什么?Simon Martin:事实上,这份工作和其他商业部门的工作很相像。
我客观地向我们的主席汇报工作,关于我们需要做什么,多少钱我们需要花出去,尤其是那些慈善基金。
我们应该去哪里,我们如何计算和应用这些支出,这是比较难做的工作,预算不像商业业务部门,目标很明确,比如就是花一百,赚一百一十。
但是可持续发展不一样,你肯定不会想一百块要生出个一百一来。
很显然,我们会更加看重我们所做的影响有多大,影响到了多少人,起到了多大的作用,但是这些都很难量化。
这就是另一个挑战。
另一方面,我的背景是一个商业人士,所以很显然我所领导的汇丰可持续发展的部门,也是商业倾向的,可以说,我们像经营商业一样在经营可持续发展,在各地有分支机构。
经济观察网:可持续发展部的工作如何影响了其他业务部门?比如说多大程度上影响了哪些公司银行、个人银行、贷款政策这方面。
能不能举例?Simon Martin:两个方面。
一是贷款政策方面,我们看哪个领域是环境敏感领域,然后我说好,我们必须看清楚如果我们贷款给我们客户,会造成环境恶化。
