Concepts of Corporate Social Responsibility and Sustainability:
A research-informed model for corporate social responsibility: towards accountability to impacted stakeholders by Dyann Ross, utilising this journal, the concept of Corporate Social Responsibility related with the responsibility of caretaking of the su
ounding environment and responsibility for the social wellbeing. According to Crane et al. (2013), the first article reflects the understanding of the corporate social responsibility of the mining company in Australia, where the Alcoa i.e. the mining company only focused on the profit of the company and only the development of the particular mining organisation. The mining company never looks after the development of the individuals residing nea
y the mining sectors. The organisation also accused of showing inequalities in social development and the inequalities shown by the stakeholders towards the development of the society and the environment. The volume of pollution caused by the particular mining company affected the nea
y residents and the extensive noise and air pollution disrupted the environmental balance of the particular geographical region. The government also did not respond to the appeals of the innocent residents of that region. Thus, negative approach and negative practice of corporate social responsibility shown towards the common people of the society
The sustainability of an organisation heavily depends on the development of the company and respecting the decisions of the several stakeholders of the company. Sustainability of an organisation also depends upon the performances of the particular organisation in the present times and keeping the future goals intact.
The second refe
ed journal article also highlight the responsibility of a gold mine organisation in Ghana, where the particular private sector never focuses on the development and improvement of the health and social care condition of the poor people residing alongside the gold mines and those people or individuals, who have also give away their land to the owners of the organisation.
The sustainable development for the gold mine company always comprises of the well being of the su
ounding environment and the development within the organisation and that includes the development and improvement of the workers and employees of the gold mine organisation (jcsr.springeropen.com, 2017).
Motivations for providing CSR-mediated initiatives in mining communities of Ghana: a multiple-case study by Richard Kwasi Boso, Sam K. Afrane and Daniel K.B Inkoom, utilising the journal:
The corporate social responsibility of the gold mine organisation seems not so constructive and the urge to work for the development of the environment and society seem diminishing. The socio economic improvement and development in Africa primarily consists of the contributions of the goldmines and other mining industries. The moral responsibilities of the gold mine organisation did not aim for the development of the su
oundings and that includes the social and the environmental factors. The particular gold mine collects huge profit from the global market and despite the earning of huge profit, the organisation never looks after the conditions of the poor families residing within the perimeter.
The third refe
ed journal comprises of a case in Ghana, where the particular country considers possessing democracy and the development witnessed by the local inhabitants seems incredible. The introduction and popularity of mobile phones and internet over a period in Ghana seems inco
igible. According to Strand et al. (2015, p.15), the various corporate houses and the other organisations always emphasise on the development of the society and environment. Few of the mining industries lack the responsibility for the society and the environment in Ghana. Several reports suggest that proper corporate social responsibility practiced by various companies or organisations aids to the development of the stakeholders, the employees and the su
ounding environment.
