Essay32. How does sustainability relate to ethical decision making and social responsibility?

ANSWER: Sustainability falls into the social responsibility domain of maximizing positive and minimizing negative impacts on stakeholders. As a result, sustainability issues fit into our stakeholder model addressed in Chapter 2 . Because most stakeholders have concerns about some aspects of the natural environment, organizations should respond to those issues in their strategies, policies, and operations. A corporate culture that includes a sustainability agenda can create long-term favorable stakeholder responses. In addition, corporate social responsibility performance can increase employees company identification and commitment. Values are an important part of an ethical culture and support an organizations sustainability agenda.POINTS: 1DIFFICULTY: ModerateREFERENCES: p. 347LEARNING OBJECTIVES: 12.1 - Relate sustainability to ethical decision making and social responsibility.NATIONAL STANDARDS: United States - BUSPROG: EthicsSTATE STANDARDS: United States - NONE - DISC: Ethical Responsibilities - Ethical ResponsibilitiesKEYWORDS: Bloom's: Comprehension
