水电站大坝、社会政策和企业社会责任之间的关系是目前研究不足的一个主题。本文旨在通过讨论与世界上最大的水电大坝建造商中国国有企业中国水电建设集团公司有关的这些问题来填补这一空白。本文借鉴了对公司战略文件和CSR文件的分析,并从关键线人访谈中获得了额外的见解。研究发现,2011年,中国水利水电建设集团制定了首个符合世界银行/国际金融公司国际标准的社会和环境保障综合政策框架。然而,这些政策后来被更弱、更危险的政策所取代。本文建议,中国水电和其他水坝建设者有必要重新参与社会创新,以减轻水电站大坝对社会和环境的负面影响。Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons,Ltd和ERP环境
The nexus between hydropower dams, social policy and corporate social responsibility (CSR) is a currently understudied topic. This paper aims to fill parts of this gap by discussing these issues in relation to the world's largest builder of hydropower dams, Chinese state-owned enterprise Sinohydro. This paper draws on the analysis of firm strategy documents and CSR documents and gains additional insights from key informant interviews. The research finds that in 2011 Sinohydro developed its first comprehensive policy framework for social and environmental safeguards that was in line with international standards set by the World Bank/International Finance Corporation. These policies were however later replaced by weaker, vaguer policy. The paper suggests there is a need for Sinohydro and other dam-builders to re-engage with social innovation to mitigate some of the negative social and environmental implications of hydropower dams.
