Every business has too a duty to its community, whether it is to the workers by being a good employer, to the surrounding environment by causing harm as little as possible or to the share holders by delivering a reasonable return on investments, in all delivering the best to the stakeholders. Stakeholders are individuals or groups directly or indirectly affected by the Corporate culture, as well as those who may have interests in a corporate body or business or the ability to change its activities positively or negatively, such as : Business owners - Environmental activists - Governments - Trade Unions – Factory Workers – Raw Material suppliers – Point of Sale [POS] Customers. A company cannot thrive, grow without engaging its community, which includes its suppliers, its customers, its shareholders and members of the general public.
