Only large corporations can afford to be socially responsible. Which statement is true?

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Depends on industry
• D. Only governments can.

Answer: (B)

Social responsibility is accessible to businesses of all sizes, not just large corporations. Even with a modest budget, a small or medium-sized company can act in ways that benefit employees, customers, and the community. Simple steps like supporting local causes, choosing ethical suppliers, reducing waste, saving energy, and being transparent with customers can build trust and loyalty and can also lead to long-term cost savings. So the idea that only big firms can be socially responsible isn’t true. It’s not restricted to governments, and while industry context shapes CSR focus, it doesn’t make it unaffordable or out of reach for smaller businesses.
