地球人還有未來嗎?
早在1987年,由聯合國提出的《我們共同的未來》(Our Common Future)報告中就強調,我們這一代能夠享受到的生活、物質,下一代能同樣享有,才是永續。
由於企業掌握了技術、人才、資本,還主導一般民眾的消費,要談永續,企業責無旁貸。而涵蓋環境、社會和公司治理的ESG,則成為企業社會責任(CSR)落地的最新準則。
如今回顧33年前Gro Harlem Brundtland所提出前瞻性質的建議,在今日全球遭受到COVID-19.疫病的侵襲,人類如此脆弱不堪一擊,經濟發展嚴重的衰退,許多企業再也無法生產,製造,銷售,導致於許多人永遠失業,必須改行或是另起爐灶重新發展,由此觀之GHB.有先見之明否則聯合國也不會通過表決,強制世界各國必須遵守環境保護與永久性的開發自然資源與管理及使用責任.
Who was Gro Harlem Brundtland and what was her background?
Our common future - The Brundtland Commission Report.

2. •She was born 20 April 1939.•She is a medical doctor with a public health degree. She is former director of the World Health Organization.•A feminist, she was Prime Minister of Norway (1981, 1986–89, 1990–96), the first woman and youngest ever.
She was chosen to direct the U.N. World Commission on Environment and Development.
Since 2007, she is a special U.N. envoy on climate change.
She is among the Elders ---Brundtland’s classic definition of sustainable development:
The Brundtland Report was a paradigm shift that altered the assumptions that dominated the existing approach to economic development
As an arm of the U.N., such commissions are generally limited to nation-states. Not so here:
Humanity has the ability to make development sustainable to ensure that it meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.“
ESG分別代表「環境」(Environment)、「社會」(Society)和「公司治理」(Governance)三個面向,任何一個面向都十分複雜,而且追求的成效和執行方式也各有不同,所以沒有放諸四海皆準的標準答案。
1:多面向的決策過程.近幾年全球追求永續,大多以聯合國2015年提出的17個永續發展目標為準則(SDGs, Sustainable Development Goals),包含消除貧窮、性別平等、乾淨水資源、氣候變遷、永續消費與生產模式等,底下共169項指標。
2:知難行易,非大企業專利ESG雖然牽涉到多面向,不過學者專家們強調,ESG的執行並不如想像中困難,也並非只有大企業才能負擔。1973年管理大師Peter Drucker曾在他的著作《管理的使命》(Management: Tasks, Responsibilities, and Practices)指出,企業是「人」組成的,必須把員工照顧好。因此,對很多中小企業來說,只要把公司經營好,把員工照顧好,盡量做好環保與照顧利害關係人,就已經是在落實ESG,不必太擔心複雜的量化指標。
3:全球投資重要準則全球最大資產管理公司(Black Rock)董事長暨執行長(Laurence D. Fink)表示,不積極應對永續發展風險的企業和國家,將會面臨投資人愈來愈多質疑,融資成本也會愈來愈高;相反地,注重資訊揭露透明度,並盡力回應利害關係人訴求的企業和國家,會更有效地吸引投資人。
4:董事會是推動ESG的核心貝萊德亞太區投資督導團隊主管(Amar Gill)表示,企業文化與制度的形成,源自於領導階層,做為企業最高決策單位的董事會,是否參與督導公司的ESG作為,非常重要。
而推動ESG的關鍵更在於「G」:公司治理。由於許多企業的管理階層長期以盈利為優先,管理因此慢慢產生了偏頗。因此幾乎所有專家一致認為,公司治理為首要之務。有了好的公司治理,才能推動環境與社會面向的工作。
5:是挑戰更是機會面對ESG浪潮,專家建議,企業不要只想迎合要求,更要從中找機會。
The Report of ‘Project 2045: The Path to Peaceful and Prosperous Indonesian in 2045’ sets out the future cooperation between Japan and Indonesia on the occasion of the 60th anniversary of their bilateral diplomatic relationship. With funding from the Government of Japan, the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP Indonesia) and the Economic Research Institute for ASEAN and East (ERIA) have been implementing this project over a period of one year. Experts from Indonesia and Japan have analysed the development path of their respective countries and have identified options that can contribute to further building a peaceful and prosperous Indonesia.
They have three main goals: to uphold democracy and become maritime global players; to rank amongst the world’s top five economies; and to achieve high quality of life beyond SDG 2030.
The strategy developed to address the above mentioned development challenges is expected to contribute to meeting the common targets that Indonesia and Japan have set on the occasion of the commemoration of 100 years of Indonesian independence in 2045. This report briefly discusses pathways to reach the target of 10 challenges identified by the Executive Committee of Project 2045. The study points out the complementarity of the two countries and the importance of their cooperation to fully realise their growth potential.
