What distinguishes socially responsible business practices from other practices conducted within a corporation that improve communities and protect the environment?

What will be an ideal response?


A key difference is that socially responsible practices are done at the company’s discretion, rather than because of an outside force such as regulation. Over the past couple of decades, there has been a shift from engaging in socially responsible business practices as a reaction to regulations and complaints by antagonists to taking on CR initiatives as a strategic imperative designed to solve social and environmental problems while benefiting a corporation’s financial bottom line.
