Corporate Social Responsibility
Corporate social responsibility rests at the top of a pyramid of a corporation’s obligations, right up
there with economic, legal, and ethical obligations. Corporate social Responsibility and
environmental awareness has become an essential requirement for organizations. Organizations
have realised that they must listen to all stakeholders if they are to achieve their goals, short term
as well as long term.
With the rising awareness about Sustainable Development, Corporations around the world are
under enormous pressure & struggling with a new role regarding the Sustainable Development
which is to meet the needs of the present generation without compromising the ability of the future
generations to meet their own needs. Organizations are being called upon to take responsibility for
the ways their operations impact societies and the natural environment. They are also being asked
to apply sustainability principles to the ways in which they conduct their business.
In considering the triple bottom line(3Ps), an organization has a responsibility to its employees
and to the wider community (people); is committed to sustainable development (planet); and
includes the costs of pollution, worker displacement; has a responsibility to other factors in its
financial calculations (profit), matters high in the minds of many of today’s consumers.
The combination of environmental responsibility, ethics and profits is one that is attracting
increasing attention. Many chief executive officers of leading companies now disagree with the
idea that the interests of shareholders and those of other stakeholders (employees, community,
customers and so on) must always conflict. Increasingly, corporations seek to weld these two
seemingly opposite forces so that ‘doing good’ and ‘doing good business’ become the same thing.

Social and environmental responsibility has moved from a ‘nice to do’ to a ‘need to do’. The
importance of the employee has been highlighted by the so-called ‘war for talent’. Recruiting the
brightest and best has become a key concern, says a human resources manager at Price Water
House Coopers: ‘There is such a limited number of the right type of graduates, and they are choosy
about the type of company they will work for. The cost of recruiting and retaining staff is likely to
be higher if you are not seen to be an ethical employer and organisation.’ A company’s reputation
also has significant implications for its financial performance. Analysts believe it is one of the key
factors in the valuation of companies. One company could have a higher stock market valuation
than another one solely due to its good social and environmental reputation.
Multinational Corporation Shell, is having the worst reputations among environmental and social
pressure groups, has made enormous efforts to reinvent itself as a socially responsible business. It
has stated its aims as nothing less than to become ‘the leading multinational in economic,
environmental and social responsibility’. Shell’s chairman has said that the reason for Shell’s
conversion to environmental protection is: ‘We won’t achieve our business goals unless we are
listening to and learning from the full range of our stakeholders in society.’
