Note: Stay with me I put in language vultures who want us to be deceived by what they say rather than what they do. I will not name names because I'm worried about being 'Downsized, but I'll leave a lot of clues if you want to verify that I did not name.
One afternoon a member of Parliament was riding in his limousine when he saw two men along the grass eating roadside. Disturbed, he ordered his driver to stop and he got out to investigate.
He asked a man, "Why are you eating grass?"
"We don" t have money for food, "said the poor man." We have to eat grass. "
"Well, you can come with me to my house and I'll feed you," said the MP.
"But sir, I have a wife and two children with me. They are out there ., under this tree "
" Bring them along, "said the MP regarding the other poor man, he said." You come with us, too. "
The second man, in a pitiful voice then said, "But sir, I also have a wife and six children with me"
"Bring them all, as well," the MP said [!
They were all in the car, which was not easy, even for a car as large as the limousine was.
Once underway, one of the poor fellows turned to the MP and said, "Sir, you are too good. Thank you for taking us all with you. "
The member answered:" I am happy to do you really love my place ... the grass is almost a foot high. ".
Every so often the Jakarta Daily carries a "Supplement" or "special issue" dedicated to Corporate Social Responsibility '. These are actually nothing but commercials, as anyone prepared to plow through the verbiage can discover.
The implementation of the corporate social responsibility (CSR) is decidedly on real or tangible steps a company that applies good corporate governance (GCG).
"Real" or "tangible"? Tangible means visible, may be affected, etc., ie real.
He continues: The GCG includes a number of related pillars: transparency and accountability of the responsible and professional management of a company and its owners the good of all concerned the general public, stakeholders.The, including consumers who are an inseparable part of the existence of a company, always require that the activities of a company are clean and warm.
This is a glorification of the rehabilitation of "degraded peatlands" in South Sumatra to the company based in Singapore.
In 2007, Indonesia was the first country to adopt a law, Law No. 40 of 2007 on limited liability companies, which makes it mandatory for companies to CSR wrote in their practices " due to lack of understanding of CSR among Indonesian business people. - evident by their non-compliance with laws on the environment "
Yet, 2008 PT Lapindo has been awarded a blue ranking "to comply with the environmental standards set by the Government"? Lapindo, it should be recalled, is generally blamed for the Sidoarjo mud flow that began in May 2006 and continues with many victims still waiting for the (presidential) mandatory clearing.
Obviously this necessary reinforcement, so April 4, 2012, the Indonesian government issued Regulation No. 47 of 2012 concerning Government social and environmental responsibility of limited liability companies ( "GR 47/2012 ").
This " stipulates that all companies that manage or use of natural resources that impact natural resources are required to pay a social and environmental responsibility is balanced and harmonious with the environment and local society based on the values, norms and culture of this company. Duties include preservation of function of the environment in accordance with the law and its regulations regarding natural resources or issues related to natural resources, as well as the ethics of running a business. Furthermore, this regulation also stipulates that CSR should be practiced inside and outside the company . "
So is the right CSR environment? Is that why a major tobacco company whose products I'm addicted to have a program to plant trees along the road the north coast of Java, rather than finding a replacement crop for their farmer suppliers?
references to CSR in the company brochures et al focused on the needs of "stakeholders", employees are excluded, and few customers notices.
Yes, they recognize environmental concerns and realize that local communities have needs. But CSR should not be to plant some trees that have the company logo affixed or having a fund containing a nominal amount that is distributed to workers who retire so they can open a warung selling cigarettes and shampoo sachets to supplement their meager pensions, if they get one.
It is mainly about to meet its responsibilities to employees of one and the families they support, respect for his comrades in what is called the human race . Unfortunately, too many employers include "race" to mean "me first." Companies that practice social responsibility do not need and do not need a law telling them what and how they should operate.
