25 Curated and Inspirational Social Conscience Quotes

“We’ll always need somebody to create jobs and turn the wheels of production. However, if you’re focused squarely on profit without worrying about how to earn it conscientiously, or while giving back to the world to which you owe your success, you’re only doing half the job your employees, your customers and the world expects from you as a leader.” – William Craig – Forbes

“The recent years have seen a growing realization in businesses that they should play an active role in changing the world for the better. Hence, a great deal of money has been flowing into the social sector. like individual citizens who have moral and social responsibilities, businesses are being perceived as corporate citizens who need to commit a part of their time, talent, and resources for the welfare of society as they draw their sustenance from it. This idea has now been corporatized under the appellation, ‘Corporate Social Responsibility’ or better known by its acronym, CSR. It is a business approach that aims at managing a business in a way that it contributes towards sustainable development by delivering social, economic and environmental benefits to all its stakeholders.” – The Pioneer
