What are the arguments against social responsibility?
Critics of social responsibility argue that the primary goal of businesses is to maximize profits for shareholders. They believe that engaging in social causes diverts resources and attention from core business activities. Moreover, the additional expenses incurred in implementing socially responsible practices can increase operational costs, potentially reducing profitability. Businesses might also lack the expertise to effectively address societal issues, leading to inefficient or superficial initiatives. Opponents claim that social responsibility should be the domain of governments and non-profit organizations, not private enterprises.
