Why do companies need to be socially responsible?

Everything that we do as a member of both society and just as humans has an impact on the world around us. If we litter, then that trash will either have to be picked up by someone else or it will end up damaging the surrounding area.

These effects can also be positive, just as if you were that person who was picking up trash in order to keep the city and the environment cleaner. This same cause and effect relationship also takes place on a larger scale. So therefore, it is even more important for large entities, like companies, to be aware of the effects they have on the world and on society.
