Pollution- When the environment is tainted with the by-products of human actions. Socially responsible businesses take action to improve operations that cause pollution. EPA- Environmental Protection Agency: Monitors and enforces standards for water and air quality.

Workplace Diversity Businesses must be sensitive to the role of women, ethnic groups, and physically challenged and older workers. Businesses can’t refuse to hire women for a job, unless they can prove that the job requires physical skills that the individual woman doesn’t have.

Job Safety Businesses are regulated by agencies such as OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration). Businesses must provide a safe working environment for its employees.
