What is Business?
Business, as defined in the Local Government Code (LGC) of 1991, pertains to trade or
commercial activity regularly engaged in as a means of livelihood or with the a viewpoint of
obtaining profit.
A business is generally characterized as performing a systematic, continuous, and regular
income generating activity. It is not a performance of a single disconnected act to obtain a
gain.
The business may be pursued by any person, regardless of whether or not the business is a
non-stock and nonprofit private organization (irrespective of the disposition of its net income
and whether or not it sells exclusively to members or their guest), or government entity.
Businesses contribute to local economies by bringing growth and innovation to the community
in which the business is established. Businesses also help stimulate economic growth by
providing employment opportunities to people who may not be employable by larger
corporations. Businesses tend to attract talent who invent new products or implement new
solutions for existing ideas. Larger businesses also often benefit from small businesses within
the same local community, as many large corporations depend on small businesses for the
completion of various business functions through outsourcing.

What is your own personal
definition of Social Responsibility?
Corporate Social Responsibility. Whenever I heard this three letters, the first thing that pops
out on my mind is that, it is the action taken of a certain company to a group of people
without any payment in return. Corporate Social Responsibility or simply CSR is somewhat
sharing your blessings to other people. It is done by means of conducting feeding program to
undernourished children, giving school supplies, granting scholarships, tutorials or teaching
street children how to read and write and many other ways. But CSR is not only concerning on
other people rather, it also concern on the environment by means of conducting clean and
green programs. For example, practicing proper waste disposal and teaching it to other
people, tree planting, donating cleaning materials to a certain community and the like. There
are many other ways to conduct Corporate Social Responsibility just do it with your heart and
you will surely think a very good definition of it.
-King Mikko Aban

-Allan Francis Ayroso

-Alma Mae Joy Mendez
Corporate Social Responsibility is one of the key to successful business governance that may
lead to the progress of the organization. CSR also contributes in obtaining the trust of the
stakeholders of the organization and its valued customers.
-Prince Bernard Tamayao
Corporate Social Responsibility is not just an obligation. For me, I can say that CSR is an
initiative in doing what we know is right, what Im trying to say is we should know how to
maintain the cleanliness and doing what is lawful for us to have a proper civilization.

Importance of
Corporate Social Responsibility
Social responsibility is a way to give meaning to their work. Through corporate social
responsibility, individuals can realize their personal values through their business. They feel
greater levels of achievement and are confident that their work is important for their
community and the world. They experience fewer regrets. They feel excited going to work
each day and would never characterize it as tedious and unrewarding. Corporate social
responsibility can be a source of personal pride, and a way to make work interesting and
important.
Most business leaders are acutely aware of the problems and challenges our societies
face. Having built a successful company, many seek to give back to their communities. They
volunteer, donate, and fundraise. They strive, through their personal actions, to make the
world a better place.
More and more, leaders recognize the opportunity to involve their company in changing
the world. By involving employees, customers, and other stakeholders, much more is
achievable. And in the process, the company can become stronger and more sustainable than
ever.
Companies that effectively engage in corporate social responsibility experience many
benefits. They enjoy a positive effect on staff retention, recruitment, and motivation. They
experience increased customer satisfaction and loyalty, particularly when customers buy
based on relationships, trust, reputation or brand.
Socially responsible companies, large and small, have better reputations, can better
detect and respond to risk, and can anticipate the needs of their stakeholders with greater
certainty. When things go wrong, they are more quickly forgiven for mistakes.
As a side effect of their efforts, these companies can experience operational efficiencies
and cost savings. They also have an improved ability to innovate, develop new products to
meet customer needs, and leverage the creativity of their stakeholders.
When you identify your stakeholders, their needs and their expectations, and you make
genuine commitments to do them more good and less harm, they respond by making greater
commitments to you. These companies can ask for more from their employees, customers,
and investors. And they get it. When they make mistakes, which happen inevitably, they are
more readily forgiven.
Loyal customers make repeat purchases, make bigger purchases, and become product
advocates. Loyal employees exert greater effort and commitment towards corporate goals in
which they strongly believe. Top performers are less likely to go to competitors. This means
lower turnover and training costs, and intellectual capital stays within the company.
Many traditional business processes are aimed at making important stakeholders
(namely shareholders, customers, and employees) more satisfied. But satisfaction alone is not
enough to keep customers coming back and to encourage employees to give their best effort.
Loyalty - whether someone is committed to you for the long-term - depends on much more
than just satisfaction. Social responsibility is powerful because it can drive loyalty directly.
