“Corporate social responsibility means how the company earns income and not how it spends its income.”
“Social Responsibility is a strategic competitive advantage for companies and not a tool of relief to charity affairs – that too, of the monetary assistance type! In his famous book “Competitive Strategy”, Michael Porter emphasizes that the dimensions of responsibilities that a company must take into consideration for itself, the economy, the society and the environment is far greater than the overflow of a small part of its income and activities as donation, charity and public utility.
In explaining the pyramid of corporate social responsibility, the famous author and researcher Archie Carol considers the most fundamental responsibility of any company to be its economic responsibility. This means that an economic corporation cannot survive without financial benefit and making money. After that come the business’s legal and ethical responsibilities. This means creation of income and wealth must have comprehensive benefit for all present and future beneficiaries. In the end, he mentions the responsibilities of charity and public utility. This means that special attention must be paid to the strata needing assistance or the society’s low income and vulnerable sections as well.
In fact, it is expected of companies and economic and business corporations to think of profitability and earning income through sound methods, right processes, lawful and above-standard activities and generate long-term and sustainable results.
Three main pillars of corporate sustainability
Profit | People | Planet
The three main pillars of corporate sustainability consist of: Simultaneous focus on the company’s benefits and profitability; focus on employees and people of the society and focus on optimal utilization of resources and environmental protection. Inattention to any one of these pillars shall lead to relative defeat and failure of the business and in the long term it shall cause problems for the economy and society. In a brief summarization, companies must simultaneously take their economic, social and environmental responsibilities seriously.
