Describe the relationship between corporate social responsibility and corporate economic performance.

Answer: The relationship between CSR and economic performance of enterprises is not an antagonistic and irreconcilable relationship, but a balanced and mutually reinforcing one. Max Weber once profoundly elaborated the relationship between spirit and economy in individual social formations, and came to the conclusion that ethical spirit is the fundamental driving force of economic development. In his view, the development of capitalism does not lie in the material aspects such as "the flow of capital invested in the industry", but in the power of "the spirit of capitalism". For example, the legendary life of Bill Gates can be summarized in terms of "technological innovation", "business expansion" and "philanthropic returns". The transformation of Gates from a "genius boy" to a "monopoly king" and finally to a "philanthropic elder" is a process of repeated ruptures that is difficult to understand. But in fact, the three faces constitute the overall face of modern western capitalism politics, economy and culture - if there is not a piece of social soil to encourage the spirit of ingenuity, the genius of the young Gates will not have the opportunity to break out of the cocoon; if the lack of a complete set of business system, the middle-aged Gates will not be able to his "window" to cover the "window" to the world. "windows" to cover every electronic screen on earth; if lost a vein of religion and humanity of the deep tradition, the old Gates is also very difficult to achieve now such a kindly "world's first big giver". The prosperity of the capitalist economy is based on this kind of business ethics. Therefore, we have to be vigilant and guard against the unfortunate situation in which only corporate "hegemony" occurs without social responsibility.

In China, for enterprises that fulfill their social responsibility better, their economic and social benefits are also very obvious and lasting. For example, China Tongrentang enterprise, to "virtue, sincerity, trust" as the main business ideas. "Virtue", the business purpose of nourishing the world; "Sincerity", the spirit of dedication to excellence; "Faith", the professional ethics of the child and the old man. Tongrentang emphasizes the responsibility of the enterprise to the society, and has become the most trustworthy enterprise and brand for consumers in China and even in the world through the careful management of successive generations.

In summary, good corporate performance is obvious when companies emphasize social responsibility. CSR brings more benefits than just costs to enterprises, and the key lies in the change of enterprise concepts and how to implement CSR.
