While it is undoubtedly true that unethical business conduct can sometimes contribute to higher corporate profits, knowingly pursuing unethical strategies and tolerating unethical behavior are risky practices from both a shareholder and reputational perspective. Shareholders suffer great harm when a company's unethical behavior is discovered and punished. Remediation of unethical business conduct is costly and it takes years to restore a company's damaged reputation.
It is important for strategic managers to understand the costs of violating corporate ethics. Social responsibility refers to a company's duty to act in an honorable manner, provide good working conditions for employees, promote workforce diversity, be a good steward of the environment, and actively work to improve the quality of life in the local communities in which it operates and in society at large.
A company's corporate social responsibility strategy is defined by the specific combination of socially beneficial activities it supports with its contributions of time, money, and other resources. Companies that take corporate social responsibility seriously can improve their reputation and operational efficiency while reducing their risk exposure and encouraging loyalty and innovation.
