We will be exploring the concept of Corporate Social Responsibility, or CSR. It has been said that business leaders are never asked about their personal sense of ethics these days - at least not until they are seated in front of a legislative committee. It would seem that there is an abundance of truth in this statement - that is, we don't often think about our organizational leaders' sense of ethics until they've gotten themselves into serious legal trouble.
All of this begs the question of whether highly ethical organizational cultures are more apt to produce ethical behaviors. Common sense tells us that they would. But if this is true, then why don't all - or perhaps most - organizations have ethical behaviors? One possible answer might be that building an ethical organization requires a lot of money, a lot of know-how and emphasis, a lot of dedicated people, and a lot of organizational energy.
Corporate Social Responsibility, or CSR, begins with engagement - that is, a company's engagement with internal and external stakeholders (not "stockholders," but stakeholders - those individuals or entities that have some interest in the company - e.g., employees, stockholders, potential investors, suppliers, buyers, the government, and the community-at-large). Begin by reading the following articles related to CSR, and what it means for organizations to be "socially responsible":
Brooks, C. (2013, May 22). Social responsibility no longer optional for businesses. Business News Daily. Retrieved from https://www.businessnewsdaily.com/4528-social-responsibility-not-optional.html
