Altruistic corporate social responsibility

From HandWiki - Reading time: 1 min


Altruistic corporate social responsibility is a form of corporate social responsibility (CSR) that goes beyond ethical behavior to voluntarily donate time and/or money towards certain groups of stakeholders, even if the time or money commitment sacrifices part of the business profitability.[1] Altruistic CSR can be viewed as unethical from a business standpoint[citation needed] because it encourages Utilitarianism, a form of philanthropy in which "ethical actions result in the greatest good for the greatest number,"[1] as well as going against the theory of Deontology.[citation needed]
