Corporate Social Responsibility It's not easy to confirm whether companies ought to take social responsibility, which is based on corporate culture, marketing approach and enterprise scale. In my mind, a company should firstly ensure that they pay their employees well and provide safe labor conditions, pay their taxes and follow the laws of the county as well. Once the company makes a steady development and earns the extra benefits excluding the total costs, the board ought to consider CSR. Generally, CSR is a divisive issue. Some shareholders are convinced that CSR is a good idea for a publicity stunt. Some of them think CSR is a waste of money, and that a company's only responsibility is to itself and its shareholders. I believe companies have a moral responsibility to give back to society. Not only does it benefit your employees to build a correct outlook of life and values, but it's also good for a company's image. In addition, this kind of investment will cost lesser than an advertisement for a television. When a company regards charitable actions as a part of corporate development, it becomes really successful.
