After reading Lucy Yan’s blog “Should energy business take social responsibilities?” I agree with Lucy that big energy companies should take more social responsibilities.
Everyone uses gas, and gas is also significant for many industries. It is easier to tell that our society has a huge demand for gas. Also, most energy companies are monopolies. Therefore, national energy companies are making big bulks due to their monopoly powers. I think those companies should pay back the social by taking more responsibilities. For examples, big energy firms can make donations to non-profit organizations. Furthermore, some energy industry makes negative impacts on environment, and it has made many problems. In opinion, companies must take responsibilities for sustainable development. For firms who make large pollution should be fined.
When it comes to how can energy firms do to make positive social impact, Lucy mentioned that “they could collaborate and communicate with government to discuss energy conservation effective efficiency.” I think this is a good way for energy firms to take social responsibilities and make positive effects.
