profit over social responsibility?

[eldavis]

One of the major, if not primary purpose of every business is to make profit. While they try their best to achieve this, they also have some responsibilities to the society. Between making profit and their social responsibility, which should the company put in more effect on?

Social responsibility over profits anytime anyday. By doing social responsibility, you are indirectly sowing seeds for future profitability.

If you are making a lot of profits, it is very important that you spend some percentage of profit for social causes.

Most of the top tech, internet companies are only interested in increasing their profit, they are openly involved in financial fraud, slavery of online investors and workers since 2010.

I believe the company should put more effort on social responsibility than on making profit. As a citizen of every country, one has responsibilities and roles to play. So business owners should have this in mind.

I think when a person first starts his/her business, his/her top priority is to make a profit. When the business is profitable, it's time to give some money back to the community.

It is from the profits that the business can pursue corporate social responsibility. Profits ahead of social responsibility.

 

[Starmix]

You profit because you are good to the society whether you belong. You profit because they are your customers.
