Presentation transcript:

“CSR is the organizations social license to operate, and is important to legitimize business activity, particularly in the global activity where businesses are accused of practicing soulless capitalism” (Dr Vivian Balakrishnan, Minister of State for Trade and Industry and National Development, Singapore) “Corporate Social Responsibility is achieving commercial success in ways that honor ethical values and respect people, communities, and the natural environment” (Business for Social Responsibility) “CSR means addressing the legal, ethical, commercial and other expectations society has for business, and making decisions that fairly balance the claims of all key stakeholders” (RBI)

 In Extended Product Responsibility, manufacturers are responsible for waste generated at the end of product’s life. (Samson & Daft 2005)  For example: Compaq Computer Australia (Stephens, 1999)

 Social responsibility is operating business in best interest of stakeholders -- Management’s only social responsibility is to maximize profits (Milton Friedman)  Socioeconomic view is the view that management’s social responsibility goes well beyond the making of profits, to include protecting and improving society’s welfare. (Samson & Daft 2005)
