    Stakeholders: Large Firms

    • 972 Words
    • 4 Pages

    Unlike shareholders who are solely interested in return dividends and share price growth, stakeholders have wide variety of interests in how companies operate. Freeman (1984) stated that stakeholders are, “any group or individual who can affect or is affected by the achievement of the organization’s objectives”. The main objective for firms is profit maximization and for this reason I agree to a certain extent that large corporations abuse their power against stakeholders.…

    Early documents (EC, 2001, p. 8) describe CSR as: a concept whereby companies integrate social and environmental concerns in their business operations and in their interaction with their stakeholders on a voluntary basis. There are some companies which currently publicly disclose their environmental performance information, comparable to financial performance information which is mandatory and required by accounting standards around the world. The point has been made that unlike financial performance, environmental performance reporting is a voluntary compliance rather than a mandatory one and that the authenticity of a company’s true social impact is establishing itself....... and that these companies will employ socially responsible activity without any regulatory requirements.
