Social responsibility is now more important than ever with regards to organizational behaviour. Businesses can’t help but take into account how they affect their surrounding communities and the environment, whether that organization is for profit or non-profit. The most efficient option for most businesses is to form an effective corporate social responsibility strategy so one may effectively engage with stakeholders and operate responsibly. One way most businesses go about this is by outlining their reasons for being socially responsible alongside objectives so as to create a meaningful impact out in the world.
