SITE
ORGANIZATION,
ROLES AND
RESPONSIBILITIES

An organisation’s responsibility is the
ethical behaviour of an organisation
when conducting or running its business.
Organisation’s responsibility can also be
referred as corporate social responsibility,
sustainable responsible business,
corporate social performance, corporate
citizenship or responsible business.
So why is it important to act in an ethical
manner?

The answer is simple. In today’s world,
acting in an unethical manner is highly
frowned upon by the society. People are
more educated right now and are more
aware. If an organisation does not
comply in ethical behaviour, they might
not only lose customers but they might
even not even get employees who are
willing to work for the organisation.
