Economic responsibility in Carroll’s CSR Pyramid

A company's first responsibility is its economic responsibility. A business of producing goods and

services needed by society and selling them making a profit. Companies have shareholders who demand a reasonable return on their investments, they have

employees who want safe and fairly paid jobs, and they have customers who demand good quality products at a fair price. This is for the simple fact that if a company does not make money, it won't last, employees will lose jobs and the company won't even be able to think about

taking care of its social responsibilities. Before a company thinks about being a good corporate citizen, it first needs to make sure that it can be profitable. And

this is the base of the pyramid, where all the other layers rest on.
