"The voluntary approach to corporate social responsibility has failed in many cases"

- David Suzuki

About this Quote

This quote by David Suzuki suggests that the present method to corporate social duty, which is voluntary, has not achieved success in many cases. This indicates that business are not taking the initiative to be socially accountable, which the current system is not effective in motivating them to do so. This might be due to a lack of rewards or an absence of enforcement of regulations. It might likewise be because of a lack of understanding of the value of business social duty, or an absence of resources to execute it. Whatever the cause, it is clear that the existing technique to corporate social responsibility is not working and needs to be improved. This could involve presenting more rewards for business to be socially responsible, or presenting stricter policies and enforcement. Ultimately, it is necessary for business to take obligation for their actions and ensure that they are adding to a more sustainable future.
