Businesses should do anything they can to make a profit?

Businesses are an important part of our lives. Although this may not be ideal, some people think that businesses should do anything they can to make profit. Others disagree. This issue is a controversial one, but in my opinion businesses should care about many other things than just how to increase profit for several reasons. In this essay I will explain my position providing examples to support my claims.

First, businesses should care more about society. There are many ways how they can do this. They can work with The Government developing some social programs in order to help poor people. Another way is being a sustainable company. It means while they produce their products, at the same time they can collaborate with the environment using recycled products, reducing pollution by optimizing their process or maybe planting trees. For example, there is a company in my country that years ago began to care about the environment. It now is very well recognized for this. Even tough now its profit is lower than before everybody thinks in this company as one of the best of the country and always prefer its products.

Second, Companies should care about employees’ happiness.  They can do this by doing more parties, improving benefits, giving scholarships, among many others. In that way, employees will be happier. For this reason, they will be encouraged to do a better job and also maybe they will work harder than before. There are many examples we can mention Google, Facebook, yahoo, so on. These companies are recognized because their employees are very happy. In my opinion, is not coincidence that they are ones of the most successful as well.

In sum, companies should care more about the environment and their employees and not just be focus trying to increase their profits.  In that way, they can help to create a better world.
