Why to be CSR and behave ethically?
CSR is now more corporate looking for it because that found that they can not survive without the society
support. Just like a single human can not survive without food and water. CSR is vital in corporate. For
instance, a non-ethical company using poisoned water recourse to make the drinks, and they try to cover
it up instead of use other recourse because it will cost them more money. Then, it has end up with some
lawsuits and banded for sales. In order to be success in the businesses, it must meet the expectations
from the society.
How do management ethics relate to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)?
The management¡̄s core ethical values and standards should underpin everything that it does and the
way its employees conduct their everyday business. Management ethics is about "doing things ethically".
How an organisation approaches the social and environmental impacts of its business operations and its
voluntary contribution to the wellbeing of the global and local communities in which it operates, is often
known as Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR); it is often about "doing ethical things".
Ethical and socially responsible practices are important in relation to various aspects of organizational
effectiveness such as quality,communication, profits, competitiveness, survival, efficiency, and
stakeholder satisfaction. Based on past literature that emphasizes cultural factors, corporate culture, and
individual characteristics, the cross-cultural variation in marketers perceived importance of ethics and
social responsibility in achieving organizational effectiveness is explained by country differences
(including cultural differences and differences in the economic environment), organizational ethical
climate, and selected demographic characteristics of individual marketers.
There are several reasons to support the importance of social responsibilities. It is related to the ethicalresponsibility, and differentiates into difference level of social responsibilities, which is economic, legal,
ethical, and discretionary responsibilities. There are six main areas of social responsibility, the employees,
providers of finance, consumers, community and environment, government, and other organizations or
groups.
The advantages and important of social responsibilities are being discussed here. This action would be
taken by some organization base on their view. To have social responsibilities, the suppliers, business
associates, and customers would be more confidence on the organization. So, the products and services
of the organizations increase and lead to maximize profit. The model is more sustainable because social
responsibility becomes an integral part of the wealth creation process - which if managed properly should
enhance the competitiveness of business and maximise the value of wealth creation to society.
There's nothing to say that a company that is highly socially responsible today may not become less so
tomorrow. It's a little like physical exercise.
