Social Responsibility

Social responsibility which finds itself expressed as one of our points to our mission must be embraced and practiced within the BLS and ultimately businesses should be inspired by our initiatives and encouraged to do the same.

It is inhumane for any business to ignore the poor and vulnerable in our society. Government cannot be totally responsible for the up-liftment of the poor and vulnerable, it must be the task of every citizen and organisation to ensure that they give back to society in a meaningful and productive way and we express this in social responsibility. As future business owners and executives it starts with us within BLS. We are tomorrows business leaders.

As we move on to adopting a previously disadvantaged school (Tembaletu High School) with the aim of giving back to our local community and focusing on raising business leaders within that school, we must ensure that in our personal lives of influence and as a collective (BLS) that we ensure that we create a national principle that finds its roots within the business value of empathy. Every business is made up of individuals who together form an organisation or business. Therefore BLS's argument is the following: If an organisation is made up of individuals, then surely those organisations that do not practice social responsibility are made up of individuals who in the majority do not care about the poor and vulnerable in society or have not been enlightened to the importance of social responsibility and therefore have no structures in place to participate in social responsibility.
