Corporations’ Responsibility to Society Patriotism over Profits
By: Al Craig Fleming
Corporate greed has many negative impacts on the economy and society at large. The quality of life of the average American is adversely impacted by the need for major American corporations to be singularly focused on profit without regard to how society is affected by their actions.
Corporate Responsibility to Society examines how major American corporations can have a more positive impact on society by including society as a major stakeholder of corporations. It looks at corporations from the standpoint of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG). Because of the outsourcing of U.S. jobs and the technological revolution, there are fewer jobs that provide a middle-class lifestyle in the U.S. ESG is the solution.
