Ethical Perspectives on Corporate Social Responsibility Ken Nikaidoh 11:20 Computer # 17

Kant’s Perspective -Good will is the measure of morality, not results -Ex: Shopkeeper’s Honesty The corporation does good without good intentions The corporation does good without good intentions -Even their good deeds are discredited, as they are done without good intent -In fact, the good they do may even be outweighed by the evil that they do

Utilitarianism Utilitarianism demands the maximization of the good Utilitarianism demands the maximization of the good The Greatest Happiness principle serves the greatest possibility of happiness overall The Greatest Happiness principle serves the greatest possibility of happiness overall Corporations; however, do not serve the Greatest Happiness Corporations; however, do not serve the Greatest Happiness The corporation serves the private interest of itself and its shareholders The corporation serves the private interest of itself and its shareholders Utility stresses the calculation of good before actions Utility stresses the calculation of good before actions Corporations calculate their own benefit at the cost of others’ happiness Corporations calculate their own benefit at the cost of others’ happiness

Euthyphro Morality is defined by what the gods love Morality is defined by what the gods love Do the gods love something pious, or does their love make something pious? Do the gods love something pious, or does their love make something pious? It is the same debate as with the legality of corporate social responsibility It is the same debate as with the legality of corporate social responsibility It is illegal to be ethical It is illegal to be ethical Does legality supersede other ethics for morality overall? Does legality supersede other ethics for morality overall? As what is pious is made so by the gods’ love, so too are laws just because they are loved by their legislators As what is pious is made so by the gods’ love, so too are laws just because they are loved by their legislators
