Most corporations exist only under the proper licenses and charter and operate within the limits of safety laws, environmental protection requirements, and other laws and regulations in the government sector. Well-meaning companies sometimes run afoul of stakeholders anyway but can take actions to appease them.  Fina, Inc. established an oil refinery in Port Arthur, Texas. Over the years, subdivisions of attractive ranch-style homes grew up in the shadow of the Fina plant. Home owners became unhappy with the plant in their midst because of its noise and odor. How does Fina have to act in a socially responsible way by helping stakeholders?
