Question
Chainsaw Charlie is the CEO of a big, successful corporate employer with a major presence in the community. The company pays its taxes and obeys the law. Charlie is asked by community leaders to get his company involved in some charitable and civic activities in the community. Chainsaw Charlie's haughty and mocking response is: "Screw the museum! We pay our taxes, so let the government take care of the poor, the homeless, and the hungry. That's not our job. But feel free to give you own money. Ha!" Chainsaw Charlie is acting:
In a socially irresponsible manner based on modern day notions and societal expectations of "corporate social responsibility."
Legally since there generally is no legal obligation for business to help charities and get involved in civic affairs.
Immorally pursuant to Ethical Egoism if by being socially responsible in a prudent, smart, shrewd, and strategic manner would help and benefit Charlie and his company in the long-term.
All of the above.
