Bank Performance Evaluation

With the deterioration of the global natural and social environment, people have begun to pay attention to the fulfillment of corporate social responsibility, and banks as special financial institutions are no exception. In 2003, the emergence of the Equator Principle became the basic criterion for the banking industry to fulfill its social responsibility. Under such a social trend, China’s banking industry proposed a “green credit” policy in 2007, but it is still far from the equatorial principles introduced internationally. Therefore, how to accelerate the pace of China’s banking industry entering the Equator Bank is a question worth considering. We need to set up a bank performance evaluation system based on the equator principle to promote the development of the equator principle in China’s banking industry, which is also the focus of this article. In this paper, through the study of the practice of the Equator Principles at home and abroad, a set of performance evaluation systems for the banking industry based on the Equator Principles is established. The Industrial Bank is used as an example to apply this evaluation system.

Purpose Based on the perspective of stakeholders, this paper aims to construct the corporate social responsibility (CSR) evaluation system, aiming at encouraging enterprises to actively undertake social responsibility, formulating targeted countermeasures to improve the performance level of social responsibility and realizing its sustainable development. Design/methodology/approach The study uses data from 2014 to 2018 of pharmaceutical companies in China to estimate the CSR system. Based on the analytic hierarchy process, the coefficient of variation uses to determine the weight of each index. Moreover, the cloud model uses for empirical evaluation. Findings The results reveal that social responsibility evaluation of pharmaceutical companies is poor to average to good and it maintains a good development trend. The order of the weight of corporate stakeholders is shareholders, employees, consumers, creditors, suppliers and government. The importance of internal stakeholders is higher than that of external stakeholders. The comprehensive cloud evaluation value of the social responsibility evaluation of pharmaceutical companies are “ordinary,” and the effect of comprehensive social responsibility performance is not good. Originality/value The current study not only considers the uncertainty of the concept of CSR but also reflects the connection between the randomness of pharmaceutical companies and the ambiguity of CSR. Moreover, this study develops a three-dimensional evaluation of “enterprise-year-indicator” by studying the data of multiple companies in different years. In terms of the modeling concept, the two-way cognition between the connotation and conceptual extension of the cloud model is fully used to realize the uncertainty mapping between the evaluation set and the indicator set.

Objectives: With the development of the times, Corporate managers often face decisions concerning the characteristics of corporate social responsibility (CSR), including handling employee relationships, product pricing and product quality. In the critical period of China’s fight against the COVID-19 epidemic, the economic development of enterprises is facing unprecedented challenges. In such a context, some enterprises might prioritize economic benefits in the development and ignore their CSRs. This individual phenomenon will not only restrict the growth of enterprises, but also exert an adverse effect on social development. The exploration of approaches for fulling CSR becomes particularly important under the background of the COVID-19 epidemic. Methods: This paper mainly uses AHP (Analytical Hierarchy Process) to analyze.Results: Hence, this paper attempted to analyze social responsibilities that should be taken on by corporates under the COVID-19 epidemic. Moreover, a corporate social responsibility evaluation system was also established through analyzing the actual situation of some CSR deficiencies in the context of COVID-19 using the AHP method based on the understanding of the CSR concept in literature at home and abroad. In this way, approaches for fulfilling CSR under the COVID-19 epidemic were explored.Conclusions: A CSR evaluation index system is established under the COVID-19 epidemic, so as to force and drive enterprises to persist the enterprise’s voluntary fulfillment of CSR for a long time.

General Practices

Companies that embrace corporate social responsibility (CSR) tend to adopt certain general practices, such as: establishing social responsibility areas, preparing codes of ethics, publishing social or sustainability reports, joining organizations that promote social responsibility, or starting their own foundations. The question then arises as to whether these general practices actually influence the responsible behavior of companies. This article explores the relationship between the application of these general CSR practices and the level of development of internal social responsibility (ISR). To study this relationship, information was drawn from the system of CSR indicators (CSRI) overseen by the Cristian Association of Business Managers (Asociación Cristiana de Dirigentes de Empresas, a self-evaluation system in which Uruguayan companies participate annually. The CSRI uses 25 indicators to measure the level of ISR development and record the application of eight general CSR practices. After carrying out a review of the literature, the 25 indicators were organized into nine dimensions of ISR: employees’ human rights; informing employees about issues that affect them; occupational health and safety; internal environment; personal and professional development; employment protection; voluntary provision of benefits; union relations; and fair pay. After analyzing the statistical correlation between the application of general CSR practices and the level of development of social responsibility across the nine dimensions, the results indicate the following: three general practices positively correlate with the development of ISR in all its dimensions (including CSR in strategic planning, involving the management team in CSR issues, and joining an organization that promotes CSR); one practice (preparing a code of ethics) correlates with half of the dimensions; and the other four practices (publishing a social or sustainability report, assigning a full-time employee to CSR management, having a CSR team or area, and possessing a foundation) correlate with none or almost none of the dimensions.
