Title Slide A socially conscience organization.
Defining a socially conscience organization. By definition these are businesses that follow the law and at the same time engage in socially responsible behavior (Sims, 2003, p. 47). In addition, socially responsible companies deal with their major stakeholders in a responsible manner, when it comes to dealing with the communities where they operate companies strive for transparency so the communities where they operate know what is going on at all times. When it comes to the customers they serve, socially responsible companies place the customer at the center of what they do. Employees are treated with high standards of ethics, safety, and provided with proper opportunities for development. Lastly, companies invest a lot of efforts in operating in ways in which they cause the least damage to the environment.
