全球500强企业在高等教育中的责任 很多大型企业都有一个社会责任基金，全球500强企业更是在社会投资与建设方面扮演着非常重要的角色，高等教育也与企业紧密结合，相互作用，联合国教科文组织也在日前发布了一项报告，呼吁民间资产更大更有效益地投入教育之中。 A new report from the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) calls for greater investment in education funding from the worlds highest-revenue panies the Fortune Global 500. Titled “Business Backs Education”, the report reveals that Fortune Global 500 panies spent a total of US$2.6 billion on education-related initiatives in xx, prising 13% of their bined corporate social responsibility (CSR) budget. By 2020, UNESCO says that should be 20%. 联合国教科文组织在一项题为“商业支持教育”的新报告中，呼吁全国500强企业增加对教育的投资。该报告指出全球财富500强企业在xx年为教育投资了26亿美元，占社会投资预算的13%，到2020年时，所占比例应为20%. How do Global 500 panies support education? Less than half of Global 500 panies were found to allocate any CSR funding to higher education, and just 4.3% of CSR investments went towards higher education funding schemes such as scholarships, grants, infrastructure and research resources. 全球500强企业中只有不到一半的企业把社会责任基金投入高等教育，而其中也只有4.3%的企业社会责任基金以奖学金、研究经费、基础设施建设经费等形式投入了高等教育。 Between xx and xx, the Global 500s top 10 investors in education were Banco Santander, IBM, Telefonica, ExxonMobil, Target, GlaxoSmithKline, Microsoft, Toyota Motor, Rio Tinto Group and Wells Fargo. Of these, ExxonMobil was the leader in higher education funding, allocating US$47.3 million to CSR activities in this field in xx. 在xx-xx年间，全球500强企业中教育投资前10强的公司是：Banco Santander, IBM, Telefonica, ExxonMobil, Target, GlaxoSmithKline, Microsoft, Toyota Motor, Rio Tinto Group and Wells Fargo. 当然，埃克森美孚公司是高等教育投资中的佼佼者，xx年该公司投资教育企业社会基金高达4730万美元。 Remendations for more effective education funding UNESCO argues that funding for education continues to lag seriously behind global demand, and that education has long been neglected by CSR initiatives, which have tended to focus on sectors such as healthcare. The report concludes with a set of remendations for panies, outlining strategies for more effective CSR activities in the education sector. Key points include: thinking long-term; ensuring CSR projects are well-integrated with business models; focusing on needs-based initiatives; and coordinating effectively with other agencies. Simply investing more cash may not always lead to the biggest impact, the report argues; instead, approaches based on effective innovation and collaboration may lead to better outes in the long run. 联合国教科文组织指出，教育经费依然不够充足，在企业社会基金中教育投资所
