No. 03  The Guidelines: SOEs Should Be Role Models to Perform Social Responsibility
 

On Sep. 13, Guidelines on Deepening SOE Reforms (abbreviated as the Guidelines) was officially released by CCCPC and the State Council, pointing out “SOEs under socialist market economy should proactively become role models to perform social responsibility”.
Reasons for Selection:
Giving full play to SOE’s role model in social responsibility fulfillment is one of the highlights of deepening SOE reform in the new era. It is conducive for us to integrate the improvement of the state-owned capital allocation efficiency, the structural optimization of national economy and the dominant role of state-owned economy. In this way, giving full play to SOE’s leading role will become the basic positioning and action guideline of SOE’s social responsibility development. Compared with the past, the Guidelines stresses “take the initiative”, requiring SOEs to take proactive actions. Meanwhile, the Guidelines will help enterprises to strike a balance between reform and development to properly handle the relationship between efficiency and equality.
