Improving Social Responsibility of Intelligent Engineering under COVID-19

Abstract

Since 2019, COVID-19 has seriously affected many industries of the economy. It is a major emergency risk event, which has caused a huge impact on all kinds of projects implemented by engineering enterprises. Nowadays, more and more engineering have introduced ecological concepts and achieved remarkable results in the fields of energy conservation, environmental protection, and renewable energy utilization. In the current global situation, how to improve the sustainable development of intelligent engineering has become a new problem. The paper explains the social responsibility connotation of intelligent engineering by using the framework proposed by ISO 26000. It puts forward that the expectations of employees, shareholders, communities, consumers, supply chains, governments, and other stakeholders should be fully taken into account in the whole process of the project. By analyzing the problems of intelligent engineering on social responsibility, it provides some suggestions from the seven core subjects of ISO 26000, such as organizational governance, human rights, labor practices, the environment, fair operating practices, consumer issues, and community involvement and development.
