The best of the good

As society evolves, so does the role that businesses play in society. Because a business is made up of individuals and individuals should be responsible citizens and give back to the community, so too should a business.
The company I work for is located on the north side of Syracuse and is highly involved with the community through beautification and neighborhood development programs. It also promotes educational programs for its employees with reading, writing and learning to speak English and also educates the community on healthy lifestyle choices.
It's the right thing to do and it's good business because it's win win situation. The community benefits because of the company's involvement, and the company benefits because it's helping to build the community in which it operates. DB

Should all companies be required to complete a "social audit?" A social audit is a process that enables a company to assess and demonstrate its social, economic, and environmental benefits and limitations. It is a way of measuring the extent to which a company lives up to the shared values and objectives it has committed itself to.
