A business should endeavor to be socially responsible in its actions and conduct under what set of circumstances?

What will be an ideal response?


There are several good business reasons why the exercise of corporate social responsibility is also good business: (1) increased buyer patronage; (2) reducing the risk of reputation-damaging incidents; (3) internal benefits such as improved efficiency and workforce retention; and (4) shareholder benefits, based on apparent correlations between CSR and stock price and other measures of financial performance. Shareholders are likely to view the business case for social responsibility as a strong one, even though they certainly have a right to be concerned about whether the time and money their company spends to carry out its social responsibility strategy outweigh the benefits and reduce the bottom line by an unjustified amount.
