Abstract
!orporate "ocial #esponsi$ility initiati%es pro%ide $usinesses the mechanism to
discharge their responsi$ility to&ards society. Does it end &ith the corporate paying ta'es
and pro%iding employment or has a &ider implication(
)usinesses are no longer %ie&ed as only the economic entities $ut are percei%ed to $e an
insepara$le part of the society and management has $ecome a major leadership group in
the industrial society that ha%e a greater responsi$ility not only to&ards their profession
$ut also to&ards the people they manage and the society and economy in &hich they
operate. The issue of !orporate "ocial #esponsi$ility *!"#+ is a %ery dominant theme in

performance.
The -triple $ottom line- reporting alludes to this ne& approach &here performance is
e%aluated along three closelyrelated lineseconomic, social and en%ironmental. "uch
an e%aluation process posits an organi/ation as a holistic entity in society, in sharp

Corporate Social Responsibility: Scope and Challenges
n the recent years there has $een increased pressure on the organi/ations across the glo$e
to practice and demonstrate their role for society. The issue of !orporate "ocial
#esponsi$ility *!"#+ is a %ery dominant theme in the national as &ell as glo$al corporate
practices. Trou$led and costly e'periences ha%e con%inced the giants of the industrial
&orld lie "hell, Nie, nion !ar$ide, !oca !ola, Pepsi!o to in%est hea%ily in
impro%ing their o&n ethical profile and reputation and hence performance. Employees
and communities &ant safe and en%ironmentally sound &oring practices, 4o%ernment
&ants ethical and responsi$le organi/ations and the consumers &ant safe and cheap
products.
!alls for corporate social responsi$ility are &idespread yet there is no consensus a$out
&hat it means. There is a star contrast $et&een the concepts of corporate social
responsi$ility and 5ilton6s declaration of the social responsi$ility of $usiness. 5ilton and
other li$eral economists $elie%e that the only form of responsi$ility is economic. Those
adapting neo classical %ie& of the firm ad%ocate that the social responsi$ility of the
$usiness end &ith the pro%ision of employment and payment of ta'es and e'tend no
further.
5ilton 7riedman &rote inNew York Times that the social responsi$ility of $usiness is to
increase profit and any di%ersion of the company resources to social programmes and
charity represents a ta' on consumers and in%estors and can $e %ie&ed as deri%ing from
an agency pro$lem, that is managers &ho use corporate resources to further some social
good are doing so only to promote their self image. 7reeman argued that firms ha%e
numerous rele%ant constituents &hose interest should $e considered $ecause the firm

cannot thri%e and sur%i%e &ithout the support of these staeholders, &hich includes
employee, customers, suppliers and community groups. 8ence, social responsi$ility is a
con%incing role management and also the companies are in%ol%ed in repeated
transactions &ith these staeholders and are e'pected to $e honest, trust&orthy and
ethical $ecause the returns of such $eha%ior are high.
0ith the understanding that $usinesses play a ey role for jo$ and &ealth creation in
society, !"# is generally understood to $e the &ay a company achie%es a $alance or

Gnly 2F of the consumers ha%e enough information to judge the ethical position of the

codes act as insurance policy. t is far $etter to incur the cost of mechanism to ensure
ethical and social practices in an organi/ation than to pay the cost of loss of good&ill or

companies sho&ed four times the sales gro&th and eight times the employment gro&th as

Starbuc's emphasi(es the business case for CSR as follows:
!onsumers are demanding more than 6 66product66 from their fa%orite $rands. Employees6
are choosing to &or for companies &ith strong %alues. "hareholders are more inclined to
in%est in $usinesses &ith outstanding corporate reputations. Muite simply, $eing socially

industry peers.
!"# mo%es $eyond the damage limitation to sustaina$le positi%e ad%antage $y proacti%e

meet the pressure of pu$lic concern o%er social and en%ironmental issues &ith an open
t&o &ay communication &ith the staeholders and using the shared learning for
impro%ement to turn pressure and damage limitation into a source of $usiness ad%antage.
