For this assessment, consider how a company's social responsibility can affect the workplace, stakeholders, clients, and other outside parties. In your paper, address these questions:

• How can a company's social responsibility policy complement its obligation to maximize profits for shareholders?
• How does the ethical issue itself affect employees, stakeholders, clients, and other outside parties, considering the specific company issue? What are the positive and negative outcomes?
• What ethical decision-making approaches would you incorporate into your policy? How would your policy solve the ethical issue?
