Social Responsibility

Introduction

What motivates a company to adopt a Social Responsibility policy is less important than what is accomplished, as a result. The mere act of reporting on sustainability efforts opens up the possibility of improved efforts, as it requires the General Motors to self-assess. While that may be arguable, the fact that it is in an General Motors's best interest to formulate and act on Social Responsibility seems clear. Because Waitrose did not think of social responsibility, a serial of scandals and phenomena awakened it that not only scientific and economic developments were important, but also building a harmonious society and elimination of these society discord.

So far in the eye Corporate Social Responsibility has always been on large companies, not only for its great impact on their environment, but also for the important work that, since its position can be performed in this field. However, Corporate Social Responsibility is not a matter for only the big multinationals. Small and medium enterprises constitute an economic group that is gaining relevance in the General Motors landscape, therefore, not surprisingly, worry, and much, the potential impacts that may result from their activity (Fliess, Hyung-Jong, Dubreuil & Agatiello, 2007).
