The correct answer is Each of the above actions is consistent with social responsibility and none are necessarily inconsistent with stockholder wealth maximization.
Social responsibility is when companies voluntarily adopt attitudes, behaviors and actions that promote the well-being of their internal and external audiences. It is a voluntary practice as it should not be confused exclusively by compulsory actions imposed by the government or by any external incentives (such as taxes, for example). The concept, in this view, involves the benefit of the community, whether it is related to the internal public (employees, shareholders, etc.) or external actors (community, partners, environment, etc.).
Over time, this conception has given rise to some variations or nuances. Thus, new concepts - often complementary, distinct or redundant - are used to define social responsibility, including Corporate Social Responsibility, Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Social Responsibility.
