Question

What are some recent examples of firms implementing socially responsible policies?

Answer 1

Corporate social resronsibility is becoming increasingly important to today’s candidates. Companies that offer a workplace and corporate culture of caring about essential social issues can be successful at both business and giving back to the wider community.

  TOMS is known for their business model of providing one pair of shoes to a person in need for every pair of shoes they sell. As admirable as that goal is, their fight for human rights extends well beyond that. They also partner up with a number of NGOs (non-governmental organizations) and other nonprofit organizations to demonstrate ethical behavior. TOMS also helps to restore vision to visually-impaired individuals, provides clean drinking water and builds businesses in developing countries and fights bullying.
