Corporate social responsibility: McDonalds and KFC

World Business Council for Sustainable Development in its publication “Building Business Sense” Lord Holme and Richard Watts, use the following definition. “Social responsibility is the continuing commitment of businesses to behave ethically and contribute to economic development, improving quality of life for employees and their families and local communities and society as a whole”

In the same report was evidence of different ideas about what ought to be made from many different companies around the world. Definitions as varied as “COP on capacity building for sustainable livelihoods. It respects cultural differences and find business opportunities in the development of skills of workers, communities and governments of Ghana, on” CSR in the company to give back to society “from the Philippines.

Traditionally in the U.S., CSR has been defined in the model much more philanthropic

On the other hand, the European Commission guarantees its rate on the two definitions in one: “the concept that companies voluntarily decide to better society and cleaner environment, a concept that corporate social and environmental issues, to promote their business. In their interaction with stakeholder’s voluntary basis”

When we checked back every one of them, they agreed that the definition is currently focused on the impact, as the economic base. Some go farther than others, to predict how many companies operate a green light for the operation of their own influence on the topography, especially outside the home, help in achieving the goals of society as a whole. There is a significant difference, when many entrepreneurs believe that their companies are ill-prepared to pursue social objectives of incubators and activists argue that society is not democratic authenticity to take such a role. This is particularly the discussion will continue.
