1 Issues, tools and strategies 问题、工具和战略
Promoting labour standards in the corporate world: ILO MNE Declaration 促进企业界劳工标准： 国际劳工组织跨国公司宣言 Issues, tools and strategies 问题、工具和战略

2 Objectives 目标 Distinguish the roles of public regulation and « voluntary standards » 区分公共法规和“自愿标准”的作用 Identify the key private standards and their enforcement mechanisms 概述关键私营标准及其执行机制 Discuss how private standards have been used to promote respect for FoA, CB 讨论私营标准怎样用来促进结社自由和集体谈判 Examine in more detail ILS provisions concerning FofA, CB 详细审视国际劳工标准关于结社自由和集体谈判的规定 Analyse ILO Helpdesk examples 分析国际劳工组织帮助台案例

3 Righting the relationship between public and private roles in protecting workers’ rights 公共和私营部门维护工人权利作用之间的关系

4 Important contribution of “voluntary standards” “自愿标准”的重要意义
Fills gaps in regulation 填补法规空缺 Encourages continuous improvement 鼓励持续改进 Helps build culture of respect for the rule of law 帮助建立尊重法制的文化

5 Relationship between labour law and voluntary standards 劳动法和自愿标准之间的关系
Company Practice 企业 行为 Codes Monitoring 准则 监督 Law Public inspec 法律 公共监察

6 Limits of voluntary standards 自愿标准的局限性
Not a rights-based approach 并非基于权利 Creates a lottery approach to respect for workers’ rights 创造了尊重工人权利的“抽签”方式 Risk that governments will off-load their responsibility to protect workers’ rights 可能会让政府卸下保护工人权利的责任 Reinforces notion that market solutions are always better than government solutions 强化市场方案永远优于政府方案的理念 Paternalistic model doesn’t address, and often aggrevates, power imbalances 家长作风模式不能解决——而是往往恶化——权力失衡问题

7 Then why is CSR growing? 那为什么企业社会责任在发展？
Companies often prefer such self- regulation 企业往往喜欢这样的自我监管 Heavily promoted by governments, development institutions, etc. 政府、发展机构等有力推行 Many policy makers assume CSR consultants are unbiased and well-intentioned, even though CSR has become an industry 很多政策制定者假设企业社会责任顾问是公正的、怀有良好意愿的，尽管企业社会责任已经成为了一个产业 Enthusiasm varies by region and sector 各区域、各行业对此热度不一

8 What to do? 那我们应该做什么？

9 1. Don’t let hard law go soft 不要让硬法律变软
Ensure that soft law “voluntary standards” reinforces rather than undermines hard law 保证软法律“自愿标准”加强而不是削弱硬法律 Codification of soft law should advance social progress 软法律的编纂应该推进社会进步

10 2. Reinforce Democratic Processes 加强民主化进程
Multi-stakeholder 多利益相关方 Development 发展 Governance 治理

11 3. Pay close attention to Hard law on soft law 硬法律应多紧密关注软法律
Guard against unintended consequences 防范无意的后果 Understand the dynamics 理解趋势

12 4. Guard against capture 防范陷阱
« Business case » mentality “企业事务”思维 Risks involved in PPPs 公私合营的 风险

13 5. Don’t forget the institutions! 不要忘记机制!
“Voluntary standards” should reinforce the institutions which strengthen respect for workers’ rights “自愿标准”应该加强维护工人权利的机制 Most important is good industrial relations 最重要的是良好的产业关系

14 Small group discussion: 15 minutes 小组讨论：15分钟
What are some benefits and risks to your trade union of a « CSR » approach? 企业社会责任方案对于你的工会有哪些益处和风险？ How has your government responded to the growing interest in CSR? 对于日益盛行的企业社会责任，你的政府做出了怎样的回应？
