ABSTRACT

Science has created technological power, and the abuse of that power has led to an environmental crisis. Responsible ethics is an evaluation of power and a discussion on its directionality. Responsible ethics applies human power to the realization of freedom and the capacity for responsibility. Passive freedom is the area where we can practice what we want without interference from others, and positive freedom is where we decide and control the practice. Companies must apply the contemporary demands of responsible ethics to their management. ESG management is putting these demands into practice in the areas of environment, society, and governance, which are non-financial factors. Profit is not evaluated just in terms of goods but includes a moral dimension. Improving the image of the company is also profitable. Since the environmental area cannot form for itself a responsible relationship with humans, he is responsible for the environment through his actions and their results. The social sphere of the company is formed and maintained through trust with its stakeholders. Therefore, a type of dialogical responsibility based on the reciprocal response can be applied to the social sphere. The area of governance is compliance management, which can be explained from the perspective of the theory of social responsibility because it is based on compliance with social norms.
