本土企業CSR職員的社會責任與環境教育認知

Abstract

台灣2011年開始執行環境教育法；2012年推出的國家環境教育獎，從法令與獎項同步推廣，鼓勵國內企業將環境教育融入社會責任方案，此舉使環境教育(Environmental Education)與企業社會責任(Corporate Social Responsibility)的結合更加主流化。

為探討本土企業CSR職員的社會責任與環境教育認知，本研究以8家本土企業為對象，透過問卷面訪各企業主管，並使用「企業社會責任同心圓模型」中的內圈、中圈與外圈責任作為訪談問題的基本架構，並融入伯利西宣言(Tbilisi)與全球盟約(The UN Global Compact)的內涵於訪談問題中。

研究結果得知本土企業CSR職員認同「責任的鐵律(Iron Law of Responsibility)」是正確的心理狀態；企業的經濟責任屬內在需求，法律責任屬外在規範；企業自發性的改善社會與環境的意願，會因「景氣好壞、高階管理人態度、產業規模大小」有所影響。

企業的CSR職員需提升的環境教育概念為「找出可結合的教育課程或活動」；「環境教育的定義與目標需讓CSR職員妥善理解」；「員工教育或對外活動規劃者需客製化運用環境教育的目的類別」。

環境教育專業者的CSR角色為「找出企業需要環境教育輔佐的領域」；「令企業理解環境教育」；「說服企業相信環境教育能輔佐企業成長」；「運用企業實踐CSR的過程來實踐環境教育」。 Taiwan carried out Environmental Education Act in 2011. The National Environmental Education Award in 2012 is making promotions from laws and prizes, encouraging domestic enterprises to include Social Responsibility into Environmental Education.
