Social responsibility

Social responsibility from businesses such as providing recycling bins can in turn provide opportunities for people to be socially responsible by recycling.

Social responsibility is an ethical concept in which a person works and cooperates with other people and organizations for the benefit of the community.[1]

An organization can demonstrate social responsibility in several ways, for instance, by donating, encouraging volunteerism, using ethical hiring procedures, and making changes that benefit the environment.[2]

Social responsibility is an individual responsibility that involves a balance between the economy and the ecosystem one lives within,[3] and possible trade-offs between economic development, and the welfare of society and the environment.[4] Social responsibility pertains not only to business organizations but also to everyone whose actions impact the environment.[5]
