Abstract
The core value of any organization be it manufacturing or service industry is production. This is critical as the image of the organizations depends largely on the quality of their product or service. Production does not exist in isolation, the effectiveness of production activities are influenced by the environment. Production is made in the environment and for the environment. This makes it difficult for the production activities to be clearly separated from the environmental activities. The interrelationship between organizations and environment can make or mar productivity efficiency. It is expedient for business organizations to be proactive rather than expecting a reactive actions from the environmental forces before being socially responsible. Thus, for organizations to be socially responsible. managers must be able to think strategically in making decisions to protect the environment through raw material used, waste generated, emission and pollution control, and good working environment to gained support from all stakeholders in enhancing productivity efficiency.
