Corporate Social Responsibility, also known as CSR in business management circles, is a newer facet of business in most developed markets.

The triple bottom line refers to the people, the planet, and the profits that a business makes; all three of these things must be a concern for businesses in the modern world. ...

Moral Issues

The case raises the question of whether the companies’ policies on pregnancy and marriage amount to disparate treatment or intentional discrimination of some employees based on pregnancy, marriage, childbirth, and related medical/social impairments. Given that women in many societies bear the primary responsibility for child rearing, and are disproportionately more impaired by pregnancy, the requirement that they leave if they get pregnant may amount to sex-based discrimination. Ultimately, the policy may have a negative impact on the women’s labor force participation (even though this does not appear to be the case for these airlines). Lastly, the case raises ...

Benefits resulting from Due Diligence for Responsible Business Report

CSR generates benefits for a business internally as well as for the external stakeholders. However, it is challenging to monetize the benefits of the CSR since much of the benefits are only visible in long run.
