The Corporate Social Responsibility of Google
The term "corporate social responsibility" refers to appropriate organizational, cultural, and environmental procedures and regulations. It looks at how companies incorporate these aspects into their strategy, culture, values, operations, and judgment for more accountability and integrity. Effective implementation leads to a better society and more efficient functioning, of a company. Due to an increase in professional unethical behavior among some businesses, business ethics ideas have gained the attention of both the media and the public. Managers of corporations that exhibit a lack of entrepreneurial ethics frequently take advantage of respective organizations' positions to achieve financially advantageous situations for themselves rather than their enterprises. Unethical behavior harms the reputation of the organization and its stakeholders, workers, and society as a whole. Google has always been at the forefront of incorporating social, environmental, and economic issues into its strategic objectives (Hristov & Chirico, 2019).
Company Profile
Larry Page and Sergey Brin, the company's co-founders, founded it in 1988. Despite, its headquarters in Mountain View, California, the firm, has grown to over 57 countries and has employed over 20,000 people. Google has offices in every major city in the United States. Advertising internet and television products and services are the company's expertise, and it accounts for a larger portion of its income. According to researchers, Google is the most frequently visited website (Jun, Yoo & Choi, 2018). Google Chrome, Android phones, online chatting, and social media platforms like Buzz and ORKUT are just a few of its offerings. Apple, Microsoft, Firefox, Facebook, and Cisco are just a handful of Google's adversaries. The Google hiring process is demanding, and the majority of considerations are focused on one's technological prowess. Another important aspect to consider is your age (Tejedor, Cervi, Pérez-Escoda & Jumbo, 2020). Applicants are subjected to a variety of interviews, with educational achievement taking precedence.
The Ethical, Social and Environmental Standards and Practices
A published 'Google Code of Conduct' has embedded ethics, social responsibility, and environmental sustainability within Google's mission and governance structure. It lays forth the expectations for workers, partners, including the board of directors. Google's code of professional conduct begins with the simple words "Do not be evil," which they use to instill ethics, social responsibility, and environmental protection across the organization's goals and objectives. While consumers may view "Do not be evil" as a commitment by Google to respect the law, the business sees it as a means of ensuring that users have an impartial accessibility encounter to their goods and services (Amerland, 2020).
Similarly, Google's code of practice serves as a source of regulations and corporate administration in the company's activities. It guides the corporation's economic controls and adherence to regulatory laws. The Google code of conduct defines some expectations that almost all stakeholders must follow, including norms and guidelines that are acceptable. Furthermore, the code of conduct covers the obligations of Google contractors and other businesses that have been given temporary bids.
Industrial Code of Ethics
Google uses the industry's ethical standards, and has developed, own standards for serving its customer base. Google's code of ethics is heavily influenced by the general industrial code (Drempetic, Klein & Zwergel, 2020). Accountability, security of Google assets, honesty, unethical conduct reporting, and avoidance having divergent interests are among the issues depicted in the McGraw essay. The firm has issued a written document outlining its corporate governance mechanisms. In addition to providing a safe workplace environment, valuing workers, and implementing a dog policy, Google has included its culture in developing its code of conduct. The organization emphasizes that all employees and company partners must follow the core principles. People must apply common sense and excellent judgment to follow Google's "Don't" be an evil attitude. This is consistent with Fr. Byron's definition of 'commercial integrity'. According to the author, corporate integrity entails more than simply adhering to legislation and requirements.
Alternatively, it is all about using intrinsic morality as a basis for making economic judgments. Google recognizes that now in business, situations change all the time and that things are not always black and white. This is consistent with Byron's belief that there will always be shades of grey in any field of life, and that it is thus critical to assess a circumstance as it arises before actually making decisions regarding the internal compass. Google has developed an "Ethical & Compliance Helpline" to assist its workers with any concerns or assistance they may have (Dorogov, Kapitonov & Batyrova, 2021). The mainline is that you want to work in a pleasant atmosphere.
Google’s culture
Google appears to have a consequential list culture. The firm's ethical principles outline the anticipated behavior of employees in areas such as respect among co-workers, servicing customers, and avoiding conflicts of interest, all of which will result in disciplinary actions such as job termination and legal action if violated. As if that were not enough, the firm uses the "Do not be evil" concept to remind employees of the significance of personal morality, which is the foundation of ethical behavior theory.
Corporate social responsibility model
Google supports all four CSR principles. 'Legal,' 'ethical,' 'economic viability,' and...
