1、精选优质文档-倾情为你奉上Good morning, everybody, its great to be here and I thank the organizers for inviting General Motors to participate in this important conference. Over the years, the APEC CEO Summit has developed into a crucial forum for dialogue and action on issue that cut across not only the Pacific

2、Rim but all countries. This mornings topic, Global Corporate Social Responsibility, is an example of an issue that truly does cut across all borders. The world we live in today truly is a global village. Its a small world, and all companies are under a microscope.大家早上好！很高兴来到这里，同时感谢主办方邀请通用汽车公司出席这一重要会

3、议。多年来，APEC CEO峰会已经发展成为一个发起国家对话，解决国际争端的重要平台。这个平台不光影响到环太平洋地区，而是全球/所有国家。今天的主题：“全球企业社会责任”，是一个讨论真正跨越国界议题的实例。今天我们生活的世界真正是一个地球村。我们这个世界很小，所有公司都是微观世界活动的一份子。To set the stage for our panel discussion, I would like to offer just a few observations and comments based on General Motors broad global footprint and

4、our long history as a corporate citizen of many different countries. 为准备我们的小组讨论，我想基于美国通用公司谈谈个人的看法和体会。这些看法和体会是建立在通用公司作为很多不同国家的企业公民这几年在全球范围内的发展足迹以及我们公司悠久历史的基础上的。Let me say first that its especially appropriate that we are discussing these issues here in china. China has opened its economy faster and m

5、ore broadly than most observers would have imagined. Yet that opening also highlights many of the well-publicized fears of foreign investment, market integration and globalization. The critics express fear, fear that the process of globalization and the global corporation involved in it may undermin

6、e national authority, local culture and the national environment.首先我想说，我们在中国谈论这些问题是尤为合适的。中国更快、更广地开放其经济超乎了大多数人的想象。然而，这种开放也突显了许多广为人知的对国外投资、市场一体化。和全球化的担忧。评论家们表示担心，它所涉及到的全球化进程和国际大公司，及其运作可能会破坏国家权威，本地文化和环境。Speaking from my own experience and that of General Motors, a company that has done business around

7、the world for nearly a hundred years and now has operations in around 200 countries, I believe these concerns are misplaced. The data show that global corporations play a positive role in improving income and working conditions, in caring for the environment, in improving education and in raising li

8、ving standards in general. That role starts, of course, with the business itself. Companies make the invaluable social contribution of generating jobs, transferring managerial and technological know-how, providing training, and generating tax revenues for governments. Those things are the essentials

9、 of any countries and any communities own well-being and progress. 根据我个人的经验和通用公司的经历，通用遍布全球的经营已有近百年，而且目前已在约200个国家设立了分公司，我认为这些担忧是没有必要的。数据显示，国际公司在提高人们收入和改善工作条件、改善环境、改进教育和普遍提高生活水平方面发挥了积极的作用。当然，这一作用的开始，源于商业本身。公司/企业对社会做出了宝贵的贡献，诸如创造就业机会/刺激就业，传授管理和技术知识/把管理知识、技术知识转化为实际，提供培训以及为政府创造税收。而这些是任何想要提供福利和取得进步的国家和社区所必

10、须具备（的东西）。However, my own view is that successful companies have an obligation to do more than the basic contributions generated by their own business activity. A commitment to paying a fair days pay for a fair days work is really only the starting point. Beyond that is a commitment to an employee he

11、alth and safety. In the case of General Motors, we have adopted the same health safety standards for every plant we operate no matter where its located. And these standards exceed all local requirements. We are the industry leader in health and safety in the United States and around the world. In th

12、e environmental area, we also apply best practices in all plants around the world. 但是，我认为成功的企业有义务不仅仅限于（通过）它们的商业活动（带来的基本贡献）。有一天工作则有一天报酬的承诺只是一个起点、除此之外/而更高的要求是，（还应）保证雇员的健康和安全。就通用汽车来说，我们都采用同样的健康安全标准，无论我们的工厂在哪个地方。而且这些标准都是超过当地要求的。在美国和世界各地，我们是健康和安全方面的领头羊/先行企业。在环境领域，我们也将最佳解决方案/采用最好的做法应用在世界各地的通用工厂中。We do the

13、se because its what our own core values lead us to do. Our core values define what we want to achieve and what we want to stand for as a company. They are not only our roadmap for corporate social responsibility. They are the drivers of all our decisions and activities in all countries. They are in

14、essence our code of conduct. So Id like to take a moment to describe them to you briefly.我们这样做的原因是受我们的核心价值观的指导。我们的核心价值观界定了我们公司的目标成就和我们公司的定位和形象。它们不仅仅是我们企业社会责任路线图/具体规划，而且是我们在许多国家战略制定和公司运作的动力。它们本质上来说就是我们的行为准则。因此我想花一些时间来简短地说明一下我们的核心价值。Our first core value is customer enthusiasm. We will dedicate ourselv

15、es to products and services that create enthusiastic customers. No one will be second guessed for doing the right things for the customers.我们的第一个核心价值观是消费者的热情。我们将致力于产品和服务以刺激消费者热情。没有人会（再三）怀疑为消费者做事是对的。 Second is continuous improvement. We will set ambitious goals, stretch to meet them and then raise th

16、e bar again and again. We believe that everything can be done better, faster and more effectively in a learning environment. 二是不断完善。我们将树立雄心勃勃的目标，且尽全力实现/达到这些目标并不断提升标准。我们相信在一个学习的环境中我们可以把每一件事情做得更好，更快和更有效。 Third is integrity. We will stand for honesty and trust in everything we do. We will say what we b

17、elieve and do what we say.三是诚信。我们将奉行诚实和信任。说心中所想，做口中所说/我们主张我们所信奉的，履行我们所主张的。Forth is teamwork. We will win by thinking and acting together as one General Motors team, focused on global leadership. Our strengths are our highly-skilled people and our diversity. 四是团队精神。我们取得成功的方式是，作为一个统一的通用汽车公司来共同思考和行动并专注

18、于全球领导。我们的优势在于我们高技能的成员和我们的多样性。Fifth is innovation. We will challenge conventional thinking, explore new technology and implement new ideas, regardless of their source, faster than the competition. 五是创新。我们将挑战传统思维，探索新技术实施新创意以在竞争中赢得优势，不管（这些新技术和新创意的）出处何在。Sixth is individual respect and responsibility. We

19、 will be respectful of the individuals we work with, and we will take personal responsibility for our actions and for the results of our work.第六是个人尊严和责任。我们尊重与我们共事的每个个人，并将对我们的行为和劳动成果承担个人责任。Every single GM employee around the globe is aware of these six core values. 全球各地每一个通用汽车的员工都了解这六个核心价值观。Here in C

20、hina, we have conducted employee workshops and training sessions around them, using them to broaden employees understanding and vision of leadership, responsibility and accountability. And we are not alone in defining values and using them to drive and measure behaviors. A recent U.S. business round

21、 table study shows that 30 major U.S. companies have similar codes of conduct. Thats really no surprise. Those codes are what define a companys character and set it apart from its competition. If you see yourself as an enterprise that wants to grow and wants to be respected, the kind of enterprise t

22、hat any employee anywhere in the world will strive to be a part of, then, your core values will reflect that. And they will lead you to run your business in a manner that goes far beyond what the critics of globalization often seem to perceive as narrow and short-term self-interest.在中国，我们为员工开设了学习课程及

23、培训课程，以此来开阔他们对领导力、责任与问责的视野并加深对它们认识。不仅仅只有GM公司在定义企业价值来驱使和衡量行为。最近美国一项商务圆桌会议的研究显示，有30家美国主要的企业与我们有着相近的行为规范，这不足为奇。这些行为规范界定了一个企业的特质并使其在竞争中领先/脱颖而出。如果你视自己是一个想要发展，希望被敬重的企业，那种世界各地的员工都努力成为其中一份子的企业，那么你的企业核心价值就可以反映这一点。它们将引领企业以这样一种方式来管理，这种方式远远超过全球化的评论家所谓的狭隘的短期自我利益。Now returning to General Motors, our activity here

24、in China is a good example of how core values transform words into deeds. Actually, we are not newcomers to China. The original GM China was established in 1929, with offices right here in Shanghai. Like so many other companies, we closed our operations in China during WW. When China began opening i

25、ts economy in more recent years, we were very eager to re-enter the market. Today, China is the worlds fastest growing economy and its potentially the worlds largest vehicle market.现在回到刚才谈的通用公司，我们在中国这边的活动正是一个很好的例子，展示了这些核心价值是如何把我们的承诺（或言语）转变成行动的。事实上，我们并不是首次进驻中国，最初通用汽车中国公司总部于1929年在上海成立。与其他很多公司一样，在二战期间我

26、们停止了在中国的运营。特别是近几年来，中国开始实行经济开放，我们非常渴望能够再次进驻中国市场。今天，中国是世界经济增长最快的强国并且有潜力成为世界最大的汽车市场。Let me give you an idea of the magnitude of that potential. China has a population of around 1.3 billion people. Not all of them can afford to own a car, of course, but we know that a huge number of them are already nea

27、r that point. Per capita GDP in Chinas coastal region, an area with about 400 million people, is virtually the same as that in most of the central European countries in terms of purchasing power.让我先给你们说说这潜力有多大。中国大约有13亿人口，当然，并不是所有的人都买得起车，但我们知道其中很大一部分人已经接近买车的购买力。在中国沿海地区大约有4亿人口，事实上就购买力而言，其人均GDP与大多数的中欧国

28、家是一样的。By way of illustration, lets take a look at Poland, a nation of only 40 million people. Poland had a total car market of about 500,000 units last year, compared to only about 650,000 in all of China. So you can see the potential growth in China is huge. A lot needs to be done in developing the

29、 infrastructure to support growth, in terms of roads, in terms of the sales and distribution (that work) and, also in terms of financing. However, progresses have already been made, and with Chinas entry into the WTO, I believe that this progress will accelerate at a rapid pace. With that kind of po

30、tential, all of the major players in the auto industry today would love to have a solid presence here. The companies that automatically win, though, will be the ones whose core values lead them to the kind of commitment and innovation that will win the hearts and minds of these future customers. 举例来

31、说，我们来看看波兰这个拥有4千万人口的国家的一些情况。波兰去年汽车市场总消费50万辆汽车, 相比之下,中国只消费了65万辆. 所以你们可以看到中国的汽车市场具有十分大的潜力. 要促进汽车经济的发展, 还需要加强基础设施的建设,诸如道路, 销售与物流途径和融资方面的建设. 但是, 这些基础设施的建设已经取得了长足的进步. 我相信随着中国加入世贸组织, 这种进步势头会发展得更加迅速。基于中国有这么大的市场潜力, 汽车行业的这些汽车公司不会放弃这个在中国市场扎根发展的好机会. 只有那些坚持承诺与创新核心价值的公司才可以赢得了他们潜在客户的心，从而使他们在汽车市场的竞争中取得胜利。Let me giv

32、e a quick overview of our activity/activities in China today. We have around 3,900 employees, and out of that figure, about 3,800 of them or 97% are Chinese citizens. The presence of expatriates in many key jobs is typical for young operation, and we are expected the number of expats in our China op

33、eration will decline from the current level of around 100 to about 50 within a relatively short time. Longer term, given our experiences in other countries, I will expect us to operate with just a handful of expatriates. Our workforce here is highly-educated, well-trained and very eager to do more.

34、We also expect many local employees to move up to higher positions not only within GM China but in other operations around the globe.Just last week, I had the pleasure of meeting with several Chinese nationals, many of whom have worked at GM China and are now working at our headquarters and vehicle

35、operations in the Detroit area. They are a most impressive group.现在我想快速地谈谈/简单概述一下我们公司在中国市场上的发展状况。我公司大约有3900名员工，其中有3800名，也就是97%，都是中国公民。外国员工占据大多数的关键职位对很多年轻的分公司来说是很典型的现象，但是我们希望我们的中国分公司的外国员工可以在相对短的时间里从现在的100左右降到50.从长远来说，鉴于我们在其他国家的经验，我希望将来只会和一小部分外国员工共事。这里的员工是一批受过良好教育而训练有素的工作队伍，并且，他们十分渴望做出更多的成绩。我们也希望有许多中国

36、的员工能够不仅在通用中国，而且在通用位于世界其他地区的公司逐步提升职位/向更高的职位努力。就在上周，我很荣幸会见了几位中国籍同事，他们有些曾在中国的通用公司工作过，而如今在位于底特律的公司总部和汽车公司工作。他们让我印象很深刻。Here in Shanghai, we have a 50-50 joint venture called Shanghai GM, SGM, we call it for short. Its activities range from sheet metal stamping to engine and transmission manufacturing, as

37、 well as vehicle assembly, marketing and administration. Total investment is about US $1.5 b. Products manufactured at SGM include our family of 4 midsize sedans, based on the Buick Regal and Century built in the U.S., the Buick GL8 executive wagon, also based on the van built in the U.S., and Buick

38、 Excelle, a compact car based on the Opel Corsa, originally designed and built in Europe.在上海，我们有一个5：5对半开的合资企业，叫上海通用汽车公司，简称为SGM。其活动范围包括，薄钢板成形、引擎、传动装置的制造，以及汽车装配、销售和经营。总投资达到约15亿美元。上海通用汽车公司所生产的产品有我们四款中型轿车系列，包括了基于美产别克君威、别克世纪和别克GL8陆上公务舱/陆尊设计的三款车型，以及以欧宝可赛为蓝本的紧凑型轿车别克凯越，欧宝可赛原产并设计于欧洲。The sale of Chinas first

39、compact car intended specifically for the growing middle class. All of these vehicles are tailored to specific driving conditions, regulations, and customer desires here in China, tailored to our Pan Asia Technical Automotive Center, or PATAC joint venture. And I have more to say about PATAC in a mo

40、ment. 中国首辆jinc轿车的首要销售目标就是不断壮大的中产阶级。所有的这些车子都是依据中国特定的道路行车条件，管理条例以及客户需求而量身定做，也适合了泛亚汽车技术有限公司，也就是PATAC合资企业的需要。稍后我还将对PATAC进行进一步说明。The Shanghai Manufacturing and Assembly Complex is the most advanced in all of China. It uses state-of-the-art processes in the areas of flexible tooling, for example, a lean m

41、anufacturing. It also incorporates some of the industrys most advanced pollution control equipment and procedures, including emissions and waste water treatment technology.We also have a 50-50 truck manufacturing joint venture in the city of Shenyang, which we call Jin Bei GM. This plant represents

42、an investment of U.S $ 230 m, and it, too, incorporates state-of-the-art manufacturing processes, and pollution control equipment and procedures. It began building the Chevrolet Blazer, which is a SUV, sport utility vehicle, just this past spring. And later this year, its going to start building the

43、 Chevrolet S10 Crew Cab pick-up truck上海机械制造组装联合体是中国在此方面最先进的。它采用了世界顶级的灵活的加工工艺，例如，精实生产。同时，它还采用了行业最先进的污染控制设备和程序，其中包括废弃排放以及污水处理系统。同时我们在沈阳的一家卡车制造合资企业，也就是沈阳金杯通用汽车公司，占有50%的股份。美国在此个公司的注入资金达到 23000万。同时，这一公司也同样采用了世界顶级的制造工艺和最先进的控制污染排放设备。今年春天，它已经开始生产雪佛兰开拓者，这是一款多功能运动车。今年下半年，它还将开始生产雪佛兰S10款的轻运货车/雪佛兰S10双排座皮卡。In cor

44、poration with our Chinese partner in SGM, we established the Pan Asia Technical Automotive Center in 1997. This is a U.S. $ 50 m investment that provides automotive engineering services for its parent companies and other automotive companies not only in China but throughout the Asia Pacific region.

45、The services it provides include design, development testing and validation of components in vehicles. Finally, our GMAC financial services subsidiary has established an office here in China, and is poised a major role in vehicle financing following Chinas entry into the World Trade Organization. La

46、st year, our total vehicle sales in China were slightly more than 30,000 units and we expect to sell more than double that number this year.在上海通用公司的中国同伴的协作下，我们于1997年成立了泛亚汽车技术中心。这个中心投资额达5千万美元，旨在为其母公司及中国乃至亚太地区的其他汽车公司提供技术维护，其领域涉及汽车设计，发展测试，零件构成确认。此外，提供金融辅助服务的GMAC(通用汽车金融服务公司)也在中国设有办事处，随着中国加入WTO，本公司正蓄势待发成

47、为汽车理财的主导。去年，我们在中国销售汽车30000多辆，今年我们希望这个数字至少可以翻一番。We are also now eagerly awaiting all the necessary government approvals to begin operating another new joint venture with Wuling Automotive which builds and sells many vans and many trucks in China. So, I think you get the idea we are a major player in

48、Chinas growing automotive market. Weve also established several partnerships and initiatives in China that create benefit beyond those of our direct business. For example, we have been an active partner with the Chinese government in addressing current and emerging environmental challenges.同时，我们热切期盼

49、中国政府能支持我们与上汽通用五菱汽车股份有限公司合作建成一所新的合资公司生产销售货车和卡车。现在我想各位已经可以感受到在中国不断发展的汽车市场中，通用公司是一个重要的参与者。另外，我们也发起及参与了一些合作项目，其效益远不局限于商业利益。例如，我们积极与中国政府合作共同应对当前以及新出现的环境挑战。This includes a joint research project with the Chinese and the U.S. environmental protection agencies, to sample air quality and to determine primary sources of pollution.其中包括由中美环境保护机构联合启动的研究计划,此项计划包括制出空气质量样例/抽样检测空气质量及列出污染主要排放物。In this vein, we have taken a lead role in
