Message: Social responsibility is a framework of ethics in which an individual collaborates and
works with other organizations and individuals for the betterment of the community. There are
numerous ways in which an organization can exhibit social responsibility; for instance, by
promoting volunteerism, facilitating donations, employing ethical employment practices, and
implementing environmental improvements. It introduces the subjective obligation that entails
maintaining a delicate equilibrium between one’s ecosystem and the economy, as well as the
potential compromises that may be made between economic progress and societal and
environmental wellbeing. This transcends business organizations and affects all individuals
whose actions influence the environment.
