As part of the society, companies are socially responsible to them. They owe their existence to a varied group of stakeholders which includes customers, employees, suppliers, Government, and the society at large. Thus the responsibilities are not merely limited to the shareholders, but relate to the entire group of stakeholders. One such duty is to ensure transparency and fairness in dealings with the public. Good corporate governance is based on accurate and honest financial reporting by the company and is hence fundamental in creating a successful organization (Gaa, 2009). The board is responsible for ensuring that relevant information pertaining to the financial performance of the company is transparent (Epstein & Roy, 2010). Besides adding economic value, companies should also focus on adding envrionmental and social value to their operating business environment.
作为社会的一部分，公司是他们的社会责任。他们的存在归功于利益相关者，包括客户，一个不同的组的员工，供应商，政府，和社会的大。因此，责任不只是局限于股东，但涉及到利益相关者的整个集团。一个这样的职责是确保公共交易的透明度和公正性。良好的公司治理是基于精确的和诚实的财务报告的公司，因此根本创造一个成功的组织（GAA，2009）。董事会负责确保相关信息有关的公司的财务业绩是透明的（2010爱泼斯坦和罗伊，）。除了增加经济价值，企业还应该关注增加的环境和社会价值的经营环境。
