3. Ethical Businesses always strive towards improving the
quality of life of people by offering safe and excellent
products. The efficient use of resources in a business to
benefit all the stakeholders involved has an across-the-
board impact on financial performance which results in
increased revenue for the businesses.
This typically happens if a sense of social responsibility
prevails throughout the organization in all the business
processes and become a routine practice among its
employees.

4. “It is not from the benevolence of the butcher,
the brewer, or the baker, that we expect our
dinner, but from their regard to their own
interest. We address ourselves, not to their
humanity but to their self-love, and never talk
to them of our own necessities but of their
advantages…”
“The Wealth of Nations”

5. "I desire to end capitalism almost, if
not quite, as much as the most
advanced socialist. But our methods
differ. My theory of trusteeship is no
make-shift, certainly no camouflage.
I am confident that it will survive all
other theories."

6. “Corporate social responsibility, and the nonsense spoken in its name by influential and
prestigious businessmen, does clearly harm the foundations of a free society.”
- Nobel Prize-winning conservative economist Milton Friedman, 1970.
‘71 percent of CEO’s would sacrifice short-term profitability in exchange for long-term
shareholder value when implementing a CSR program.’
- SIXTH ANNUAL GLOBAL CEO Survey of nearly 1000 chief executives

10. The CSR model is perhaps more developed among Western corporations than
elsewhere, but the concept is irreversibly extending itself to other regions. The
website of CSR Europe, a network of corporate CSR professionals working to
shape the business and political agenda on sustainability and competitiveness,
contains links to some 200 business-related organizations around the world
that seek to motivate and assist companies to manage their businesses in a
socially responsible manner and become participants in building a fair and
sustainable society. Many of these groups work not only with corporations but
also with graduate schools of business to incorporate CSR concepts and
practices into their MBA curricula.

and continuing upliftment

be added in the years to
come…’
