“Improvements in the lives of stakeholders through stakeholder theory tend to help those who are already powerful within organisational settings, while those who are less powerful continue to be marginalised and routinely ignored.”
To whom is your business accountable?
Every business has a target audience it caters to, and to which it is accountable. But the current system of corporate social responsibility (CSR) isn’t cutting it. Large corporations co-opt organic social movements and poison the well of “diversity and inclusion” with performative efforts that undermine the very causes they purportedly stand for.
Today, the ideals of “equity and inclusivity” have been contorted and made into a shell of themselves. Programs designed to improve diversity tend to function as funnels for echo chambers and destructive virtue-signaling. There is no room for authentic diversity of thought or opportunities to recruit those from various socioeconomic conditions.
Together, we can reclaim the fight for representation in the business landscape through ethical applications of concepts such as stakeholder theory, the essentialist self, and empowering science communication.
