In the words of Prof. N. Craig Smith (INSEAD Chaired Professor of Ethics and Social Responsibility & Academic Director of the CSR & Ethics Research Group)
“The simple fact is that social and environmental problems are becoming business problems. In part, this is because we live in a closely interconnected world today where businesses are exposed to stricter scrutiny. This ‘goldfish bowl’ reality means that companies must operate with greater responsiveness to ethical concerns and to their social and environmental impacts. The best companies go further by not only protecting their brands and corporate reputations but also seizing opportunities to create value for their stakeholders through proactive efforts to give attention to ethics, corporate social responsibility and sustainability.”
