As psychologists, it seems intuitive that we promote the well-being of individuals, communities, and organizations. For many psychologists, it is also an ethical obligation to be socially responsive. What about organizations? How responsive to society are they and do they feel it benefits them to conduct business in an ethically sound, sustainable manner?
Your Final Paper in this course involves evaluating an organization’s social sustainability or responsibility initiative and its impact on social change. Specifically, you will address the following:
1) the influence of corporate social responsibility on ethical decision making and behavior;
2) the manner in which organizations promote ethical behavior through corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives; and 3) the intersection of ethics, corporate social responsibility, and social change.
