Business
There is growing pressure for businesses to become more socially responsible.
Some companies do try to practice environmental and social accountability.
These companies are in the minority however.
Some companies are surpassing the minimal guidelines for social responsibility
and are doing extremely well and setting great examples to others. Some
examples are: Working Assets, S-R Investment Group, Co-op America. As
companies continue to be pressured to become more socially responsible,
and others strive to, Social Responsibility graduates will be in demand
to help companies accomplish this task.
