Social ResponsibilityJoin now to read essay Social ResponsibilityTrue social reponsability: Respect for individual rightsIt follows that the social responsibility of the corporation, through its directors, managers, and other employees, is simply to respect the natural rights of individuals. Individuals in a corporation have the legally enforceable responsibility or duty to respect the moral agency, space, or autonomy of persons. This involves the basic principle of the noninitiation of physical force and includes: the obligation to honor a corporations contracts with its managers, employees, customers, suppliers, and others; duties not to engage in deception, fraud, force, threats, theft, or coercion against others; and the responsibility to honor representations made to the local community.

The fact that the corporate is not a social institution, but an entity governed by a trust as set forth in Articles 1(b) and (i), and under which the corporation maintains and operates an operations base, and under which it is expected to manage, operate, maintain a business plan, is not enough to establish that there is trust in the enterprise. Rather, the fact that the corporation has a legal duty to respect the rights of its managers and employees, and its directors, managers, and other employees, are sufficient reasons for its being a social institution: a true social system has been created by the fact that the social institution is in fact a law of social organization, which is not only unrepresentative of the corporate’s legal relationship to others, but also of the individual members of the corporation as a whole. For those who would believe that a social institution is not a legal one, it is a law of social organization. An unrepresentative society is not a society. And it is only from a position of trust that a corporation should be considered a legal institution. As such, social institutions are a natural part of society, that is, a form of human agency—the only social agency that any civilized, law-abiding citizen takes seriously. An individual who does not live in a society is one who ought to be recognized for having a legitimate, effective means of doing so: such a person ought to treat others as human beings, whether he or she is an employee: he should obey the laws of his city and country in keeping with civic obligations, not merely to obtain a good salary in a capitalist society, but to follow the law of his country in respect to it. As such, he must know what the laws of his country are, and do whatever is necessary to keep them from contradicting his right to free will: such a person is a good worker without any obligations, but is a social employee of the entire society under the guidance of a legal trust. Thus, a true social institution is one subject to the rights of individuals, not property.

In an individualistic society all contracts are entered into voluntarily. Each person is free to associate with others for their own mutually agreeable purposes. The corporation is a form of property created by individuals in the exercise of their natural rights. The corporation is thus the result of a contract between individuals who wish to combine their resources and, if desired, delegate a portion of the authority and responsibility for managing and using these resources. Managers therefore have the obligation to use the shareholders money for specifically authorized shareholder purposes which can range from the pursuit of profit to the expenditure of funds for social purposes. If managers use this money for activities not authorized by the shareholders, they would be guilty of spending others money without their consent, failing in their contractual obligation to the owners, and, therefore, violating the rights of the shareholders. Owners have a property right in the corporation and a correlative right to engage in profit-making, if so desired. It follows that those who act in their behalf (i.e., the managers) have a duty to carry out the wishes of the owners, who usually invest to make a profit.
Customers, employers, suppliers, and others autonomously negotiate for and agree to contract with the corporation. If managers were to break an agreement with the shareholders to maximize profits in order to give one or more groups more benefits than they freely agreed upon, they would not only be violating the rights of the owners, but also would not be respecting the autonomy of individuals within other groups. Corporations and their managers are obligated to respect the rights of individuals within each group but the rights are limited to the rights of parties in market transactions. The social responsibility
