林超伦实战口译练习笔记 第63期:社会责任对公司的重要性

 　　A responsible organization will be better able to attract and retain its customers, employees, shareholders¹ and suppliers. It will operate with greater cohesion² and clearer focus. It will be better able to listen and respond rapidly to changing needs and markets. Responsibility, dialogue, action and reporting are the key elements in a virtuous³ circle through which everyone benefits. We are proud to promote our support for Corporate⁴ Social Responsibility.
