Nowadays, most large companies operate multi-nationally.

To what extent those

companies should have responsibility towards local communities in which they operate?
In the globalisation process, a variety of organisations run on an international scale. However, I
believe that these firms should not forget to place more of an emphasis on contributing to the
development of the local societies where they are located in several aspects.
The first responsibility that the multinational companies should take is to preserve the local
environment. Companies of any size would exert negative influence on the region's air and
water quality by running factories, disposing of waste to the waterworks or simply using
airconditioners. Therefore, it is encouraged that they are active in placing restrictions on the
level of
the contaminants released and endeavouring to operate on an environmentally friendly basis.
Second of all, paying tax on schedule is also an obligation. The tax money is used to upgrade
the public constructions and regulate the socio-economic activities, thus facilitate people's life.
Accordingly, not paying tax properly, the companies not only violate the national laws, but also
indirectly deprive the inhabitants of a wide range of benefits they are well-deserved to reap.
Finally, the major global companies can support the regional communities by creating jobs.
Provided with career opportunities at a firm near their homes, the workers can not only save
time
and money for traveling but also find it easier to take care of their family. In a broader view, this
action helps reduce the unemployment rate at the area, which boosts the local economic
development in the long run.
In conclusion, I believe that helping the local communities thrive should be considered a must
for the international organisations, and there are many ways to implement the task.

As well as making money, businesses also have social responsibilities. To

what extent do you agree or disagree?
Businesses have always sought to make a profit, but it is becoming
increasingly common to hear people talk about the social obligations that
companies have. I completely agree with the idea that businesses should do
more for society than simply make money.
On the one hand, I accept that businesses must make money in order to
survive in a competitive world. It seems logical that the priority of any
company should be to cover its running costs, such as employees’ wages and
payments for buildings and utilities. On top of these costs, companies also
need to invest in improvements and innovations if they wish to remain
successful. If a company is unable to pay its bills or meet the changing needs
of customers, any concerns about social responsibilities become irrelevant. In
other words, a company can only make a positive contribution to society if it is
in good financial health.
On the other hand, companies should not be run with the sole aim of
maximising profit; they have a wider role to play in society. One social
obligation that owners and managers have is to treat their employees well,
rather than exploiting them. For example, they could pay a “living wage” to
ensure that workers have a good quality of life. I also like the idea that
businesses could use a proportion of their profits to support local charities,

environmental projects or education initiatives. Finally, instead of trying to
minimise their tax payments by using accounting loopholes, I believe that
company bosses should be happy to contribute to society through the tax
system.
In conclusion, I believe that companies should place as much importance on
their social responsibilities as they do on their financial objectives.
