The Social Responsibility of Business

The Social Responsibility of Business

Social Responsibility: Reefers to the idea that companies and corporations should contribute wealth or resources solely dedicated to the improvement of society as a whole.

Communities: are a social group of any size whose members reside in a specific locality, share government, and often have a cultural or historical heritage.

Environmental: is the aggregate of surrounding things, conditions, or influences; surroundings.

Stakeholders: are a person or group that has an investment, share, or interest in something, as a business or industry.

Closure: I think businesses take Social Responsibility in to consideration as part of the business plan because it helps the business be organized and it lets the people know that they are aware of how costumers or clients feel about the company.


Questions
What should Chantale do?
- She should keep asking about the situation because the company isn't being socially responsible.
What are the reasonable limits on loyalty to one's employer?
-The employer should take into consideration the concern of the employee but is limited because the company should grow.
Would it make a difference if Chantale had a position of greater authority?
-As of what I read she did go to a higher authority but was shot down again and I think if she tries to go even higher they might tell her the same thing.
Would it make a difference if Chantale had scientific expertise?
-In a way it would help but because she is their employee the company will do whatever it takes to not get this exposed to competitors. It would help if she had a position in where she was allowed to question where the medical waste is disposed.
