Corporate Social Responsibility in Website Development and Business Process Outsourcing by:Michelle Fernandez
Corporate social responsibility is the buzz word in big business
. In this age of environmental awareness and people empowerment, corporations are expected to behave ethically, uphold environmental sustainability, help combat poverty and support social justice. The public has learned to demand this in exchange for corporate existence.Although it is also true that many companies get away by paying mere lip service to corporate social responsibility, a lot of other companies have found it profitable to actually do the right thing. As more and more people are becoming socially responsible themselves, companies that go green or use sustainable technologies in producing environmentally safe products are gaining increasing numbers of loyal customers. From hybrid cars to green home cleaning solutions to natural makeup, products that save the earth are becoming the choice of many consumers.
On the other hand, companies that have been caught red-handed such as those proven to cause environmental contamination or those proven to outsource their manufacturing to sweatshops in developing countries have faced censure and profit-shearing boycotts.
Aside from the profitability of corporate social responsibility, though, companies would do well to recognize that it is actually be in their best interests to ensure the welfare of the environment and the people of this earth. The planet is their business site and the people are their market. For now, at least, there is no other known choice. How can they not want to protect their location and their market?
Corporate social responsibility is not only for big business, either. Even small and medium scale companies are called to uphold its principles.
