Corporate social responsibility



Hello readers, I hope you are all good. In this age, a lot of  companies exercise corporate social responsibilities.  Today, I will discussing  the four components of Carroll's pyramid of corporate social responsibility. This components include the economic, legal, ethical and philanthropic responsibilities 

Economic is the first responsibility to  be fulfilled by a company, which is profit making. A company that does not fulfill this need will not last for long. Thus, a company would last long and benefit the society as long as the company makes profit.

Legal is the second responsibility. Companies must abide to the law of its country as well as the rules and regulations that is related to the types of business the company is into. Adhering to this will prevent companies from facing legal issues A company could be shut for breaking laws. License-holders could lose their license for breaking rules and regulations. 

Ethical is the third responsibility. This encourages companies to carry out good activities without it being required by law. It is expected by the society. For example recycling waste products of the company.

Philanthropic is the last responsibility which includes giving out charity to the less privilege people, building schools and donating them to the government. Providing water facilities in communities that lacks them. Allah (SWT which means Glorious and Exalted is He) loves charity and He would multiply it for you "Who is he who will offer God a generous loan, so He will multiply it for him manifold? God receives and amplifies, and to Him you will be returned." Quran 2:245

Make sure your business is halal. Everything should be done seeking the pleasure of Allah. Part of seeking the pleasure means hoping for a reward from Him in this life and the Hereafter. Everything happens according to the will of Allah (you have freewill, therefore, you are responsible for your actions).

Halal means anything lawful Islamically.

Alhamdulillah (Praise be to Allah). May Allah send peace and blessings to Prophet Muhammed (P.B.U.H). Thank you for reading this article. Like this page on facebook. Keep reading this blog regularly. Cheers!

How to Make Money from Gold

We used to operate in a gold standard system in the past, it is common knowledge that we presently operate in a dollar based system.  A system where each country measures the value of its currency against the dollar for the dollar based system and the gold for the gold standard system. The gold used to be a yardstick for measuring the value of a currency, although it is no longer used to measure the value of currencies these days, it has maintained it's prestigious value. Gold a very valuable metal, its prices depreciates at times and appreciates other times, but looking at its trend over 100 years, the prices have always appreciated over 10 years or above.

The saverholic

Image courtesy of dan at FreeDigitalPhotos.net It involves minimal risk saving your money. I always say first save your money in an halal account, once it has reached a particular threshold start investing. The saverholic only saves and saves and saves and cannot afford to take well calculated risks. Because, all you do is to save money. Invest in other markets, the higher the risk the higher the return, diversify your investment portfolio.  All individuals that have achieved financial growth of great heights are risk takers, and they know that some risk might turn out negative but they know is all part of the process. They learn from it and apply it to the next risk they take and eventually they become experts at the risk they take (risk taken should not be excessive(too much uncertainty)). Then they end up having 80% success rates which I think is good enough. Make sure your business is halal.  Give charity regularly from your income, Allah loves charity an...
