Example text

As I have written elsewhere in relation to social auditing as a way of assessing the social impact of companies, it is possible to outline another perspective on civil society, which is: that it comprises the creative matrix from which other forms of organisation may emerge. In this sense, civil society is recognised as the dynamic underpinning all social activity. From this perspective, the formal institutions of the state, or of private enterprise, are borne of civil society. They have, however, in some sense, grown 26 ES_CI_24-2 10/3/10 15:06 Page 27 T H E S O C I A L P U R P O S E O F C O M PA N I E S beyond civil society … what this perspective misses, however is that large NGOs may have grown beyond their civil society roots in much the same sense as their private sector ‘cousins’ … I suggest that as organisations grow and develop more formal institutional structures over time, their connection to civil society, and the concerns and issues which actually face people in their day to day lives, weakens.

However, since relevance and significance are both matters of degree, it is also possible for an issue to be both relevant to a company and significant to its stakeholder(s), but not sufficiently so to make it material. So the fact that whales are endangered is not that relevant to a telecommunications company, but may be very relevant to a retailer selling whale meat. 41 ES_CI_24-2 10/3/10 15:06 Page 42 C O R P O R AT E I M P A C T Importantly, it is quite possible for an issue to be very significant but not actually relevant to a given company, because those to whom it is significant are not stakeholders of the company (which is actually the same thing as saying that the company’s activities do not affect the issue).

So in which society should the company be considered to take part? The answer, of course, is ‘all of them’, although this can lead to conflicts when the legal requirements of different jurisdictions conflict, as has happened over banking transparency for example. At any rate, in trying to assess corporate impact, it is necessary to be inclusive and to consider the full spectrum of impacts across the various countries in which the company is active. Business, society and CSR One response to the questioning of the role of business in society has been Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR).
