Total Corporate Responsibility

An approach that encourages corporations to work with governments and organizations proactively to change economic and political systems and regulations that motivate them to ignore costs incurred by societies and the environment by their activities. These costs might be externalities or other effects that harm people or the Earth but for which changes in behaviour can’t be brought-about in a competitive environment. Instead, changing systems and policy for all companies can allow these effects to improve without making any one organization less competitive.
