In my opinion, organizations were involved in corporate social responsibility activities to maintain a social status and earn profits in the long run. I thought the organizations were being involved in corporate social activities to advertise themselves and position themselves as a well-known brand or to distract the public and media from the other operations of the organization. In my opinion the organizations involved in corporate social responsibility activities has the aim to only increase their commercial profit by being popular and more reputed in the eyes of both the public and the government. In my opinion, organizations that exist to maximize their profits and achieve their objectives as early as possible can’t put social welfare ahead of the factors that are profitable for the organization. I knew of some organizations that in public boast about their corporate social responsibility activities but in the back carry our operations that are harmful to both environment and society.…
