I'll give you an example of where practices were changed which essentially adopted corporate social responsibility where it hadn't previously existed:\n\nIn Cusco (Peru) tour operators used to compete to offer the cheapest tours of the Inca Trail - especially in the immediate aftermath following the ban on independent trekkers doing the Trail.  All tour operators had porters - whether they carried just the dining tent, cooking gear and food and did the cooking at camp, or whether they carried trekkers gear as well.  \n\nMost of these porters were employed on an ad hoc basis and came from the poor villages just before the Trail starts.  They are renowned for literally running up and down the mountain passes wearing flip flops made out of used tyres.  The problems came with the fact that they were employed ad hoc and the pay varied greatly.  Trekkers ended up arguing with tour operators when they learnt that their porters were earning less than porters with other companies and carrying twice the recommended weights - borne out by frequent sightings of porters tumbling down mountains as the weight they were carrying toppled them.\n\nGuidelines were eventually introduced recommending maximum weights for porters to carry and essentially a minimum wage and tour operators who did not comply with this were not licensed to continue with tours of the Inca Trail so they all pulled their finger out and started treating the porters better. \n\nAdded to this were increased regulations about things like eco-tourism - i.e. taking waste away, and digging toilets to recommended depths.\n\nThis is a practical example of how corporate social responsibility in a developing country at its largest tourist centre improved not only the experience of the Inca Trail, but the conditions for those porters employed to work the Trail.  The against argument in this circumstance I guess is that people had willingly booked those cheaper tours and not all will have been distressed by the treatment of the porters or the lack of eco-responsibility. \n\nHope that's of some help.  Good luck.

nope, social issues are the province of individuals and governments not buisness.  Letting buisness use moral teasers lessens the value of the issue.  Instead make a better product and reap the rewards then donate to charities that you favor.

You will probably need to specialize on something. Ethics seems to be a field that is getting a lot of attention lately and lots of corporations, hospitals and organizations are hiring Ethics officers to oversee their policies.

Well that is a tricky question, because do you mean environmental like related to the planet or environmental as in a company's surroundings.\n\nEnvironmentally, all natural occurances affect business.  For example, snow could shut down a distribution center for a company in Florida, limiting the arrival of a new product.  But on the counterside, it increases business for a snow lodge, which is a positive effect, but one none the less.\n\nAs for surroundings, look at Porter's Five Forces.  Everything affects business, legal issues  consumer trends, new technology, all have an effect on how business runs.

I think it's great that corporations are making social responsibility an integral part of their agendas.  Corporations play such a big role in our communities by providing jobs, it's only natural that they extend that role to other areas in the community.  For example, if you have a company that wants to ensure the pool of quality job applicants, that company may invest in the local school system by providing scholarships.  Or if a company knows it has the resources and wants to get some positive publicity, it may contribute to environmental protection measures.  In essence, whatever the company does for its community will come back to them in the form of better employees and more customers.  In the end, both the community and the company win.

I see the environmental issues as an example of how society has allowed technology and advancement, power and greed, to devalue us as a nation, a society, a community, and as individuals.  What happened to good ol values and pride.  Now a days nobody takes the time to even take pride in their own front yard, you just hire someone to do it.  Some people don't realize that the vegetables they buy at the store can actually be grown in their own back yard.  So, if a person doesn't even own a lawn mower, do you think they even care about the environmental issues and challenges we face as a nation today.  People are too busy looking our for themselves out for numero uno.  Remember the "e" in we comes before the "I" of me.  The answer to most of our problems we face as a nation begin with teaching people good values and beliefs, pride in a job well done, and to make decisions based on the knowledge that everything I do will affect someone else at some point and time like a domino affect.  As Mr. Spock put it the needs of the many outweigh the needs of one.  Now that is a good belief to have.  Maybe if more had some beliefs like that, this question would never have existed.

My south is social genocide on one side and golf courses and $300,000.00 houses on the other. I worry about the environment too, but I'm afraid I may be the only one.  Check out hydrogen power and spread the word to your friends.  It will save our planet if we act.  Also, adaptation is our only means of survival...those who fear change perish....infuse modernity with all things natural...see what you come up with.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conservation_ethic is one I found but if you look to the right there's several more web addresses in blue. You might also try the encyclopedia brittanica. You'll probably be down to about 10 after you do all that.
