Corporate Social Responsibility

Introduction

Companies take corporate social responsibility as the bridge to meet the organizational success and goals. Previously I was the owner at gas station, 7-eleven, insurance company any hotel. With the experience I have taken, I learned that corporate social responsibility is the core of any organization in order to maintain the best perception in customers mind.

According to Carroll (2001), with the development of economic globalization, corporate social responsibility has become a research focus. Firstly, based on Carroll's social responsibility theory, the scope of corporate social responsibility, including economic responsibility, legal responsibility, ethical responsibility and philanthropic responsibility (or self-responsibility), was defined. It is shown that corporate social responsibility is dynamic because of social expectation from its scope and basic elements. Then, this paper suggests that the implementation body of corporate social responsibility includes not only the enterprise but also the other stakeholders.

The discharge of industrial wastes and noxious substances exceeds environmental purification and degradation capacity, which would result in anomaly weather condition, ecological unbalance and natural disasters.

In my opinion, economic development would cause geological and climatic hazards. The cruel business competition would lead to financial fraud behaviors, food and mine safety accidents, etc. Corporate social responsibility (CSR) is more universal and global than before with economic development, and its connotation is being constantly enriched and developed.

Elements of Social Responsibility

Working at Hotel, I learned that it is your duty to be socially responsible.
