Social responsibility refers to the duties which must be carried out by people for the benefit of other people and the society. Philosophy also makes up a significant part of social responsibility in terms of ethics. Each and every individual living being a part of a society has some social responsibilities and duties which must be completed by him, not for his benefit but for the overall benefit of people. An example of this would be not to throw trash in the open and if a person sees trash on the streets then he should pick it up and throw in the bin. It would not be beneficial for him but it will help in keeping the vicinity clean and it would contribute to the betterment of society.

Philosophy helps in explaining the relationship of a human being with the other in such a way that a person should not do anything which can result in harm to others. The same thing is explained by social responsibility as well.  

A variant of social responsibility is also established in businesses. It underlines the concepts that an organization should ensure that it is not harming its workers and the environment in which it is operating. Its activities should be sustainable (Valiente, et al., 2012).
