Question 1: what is the true meaning of share value?

Answer: A share value is the price of the single share of number saleable stocks of
the company, derivatives or other financial assets. In layman’s language the stock
value is the highest amount at which someone is willing to pay for the stocks or the
lowest value at which the stocks are brought.

Question2: why is it important having an evaluation system based on social

responsibility indicators?
Answer: Corporate social responsibility (CSR) has become one of the standard
business practices of our time. It is important to have an evaluation system based
on social responsibility indicators due to the following reasons:

 Positive social responsibility improves a company’s public image and

relationship with consumers.
 Having a strong CSR program can increase the chances that your company
gets news coverage.
 Corporate social responsibility helps attract and retain engaged and
productive employees.
 Investors care about corporate social responsibility and so should
companies.
 Business environments are more enjoyable when companies engage in
corporate social responsibility.
Question 3: what was your perception of CSR and philanthropy before you started
this course? A generation from now, do you think we will still be talking about
sustainability?
Answer: Corporate Social Responsibility and Sustainability both focused on social
and ecological goods but with CSR aiming to competitive advantages through
marginal improvements. Sustainability is focused on durable competitive
advantages through revolutionary changes. The term (a bit like sustainable
intensification) is used by so many different people in so many different ways that
it, for some, it becomes misleading. A food company, talking about sustainable
supply chains, a farmer talking about a sustainable enterprise, a development
person talking about sustainable development, a politician talking about
sustainable economic growth, a social scientist talking about a sustainable rural
community or an ecologist talking about sustainable land use all use a different
conceptualization of what & “sustainable” means, but each often thinks their
concept maps neatly across to others. Yes we will still be talking about
Sustainability.
