1. Socially responsible entrepreneurs:
What do they do to build and grow
their companies?
In contrast to [Milton] Friedman, I do not believe
maximizing prots for the investors is the only
acceptable justication for all corporate actions.
The investors are not the only people who matter.
Corporations can exist for purposes other than
simply maximizing prots. John Mackey, Found-
er and President of Whole Foods ( Reason, 2005)
We are helping to create a new mind-set that
responsible practices and protable practices are
one and the same. It’s more difcult to manage
responsibly and protably but it’s within our hu-
man means. It just takes being intentional about
being good as well as being successful. Tom
Chappell, Founder and President of Tom’s of
Maine (Chappell, 1993,p.35)

Abstract This paper examines 30 entrepreneurs who created protable companies,
and who were also exemplary in their efforts towards social responsibility. It examines
their management practices to understand how these socially responsible entrepre-
neurs created and built their companies. The study reveals that these socially respon-
sible entrepreneurs founded their companies, at least in part, to achieve idealistic
objectives, and pursued nancial and non-nancial objectives simultaneously. Most
avoided nancing from institutional sources, hired employees for their shared values,
and shrewdly leveraged their social identities to differentiate themselves in the
marketplace. Many of these entrepreneurs made unusual efforts to create a strong
organizational culture and implement sustainable operational processes to meet their
self-imposed ethical standards. These socially responsible entrepreneurs gave a sub-
stantial amount of their prots to causes of their choosing, and volunteered themselves
as role models for other businesses and entrepreneurs to follow.

Times Magazine, the title of which aptly summed up
his thesis: ‘‘The social responsibility of business is to
increase its prots’’ ( Friedman, 1970 , p. 6). While
the position of the renowned Nobel laureate may be
accepted by many people in today’s business world,
a surprisingly large number of intriguing, though not
widely studied, entrepreneurs have adopted an al-
ternative business philosophy. These so-called so-
cially responsible, values-led/centered, ethical ,or
susta inable ent repreneurs ende avor to be goo d a s
well as successful by simu ltaneous ly achievi ng eco-
nomic (prot), enviro nmental, and social goals- the

Corpor ate social respo nsibili ty (CSR) is not a new
conce pt. It w a s rs t dened in 1953 by Bowen (195 3,
p. 8) as, ‘ ‘th e obl igation of business men to pursue
those polici es, to make those decisions , o r t o fol low
those lines of actio n which are desirabl e i n terms of
the objectiv es and values of our society .’ ’ McGu ire
(1963, p. 77) added that, ‘ ‘th e idea of soc ial re spon-
sibilities suppose s that the corpora tion has not only
econom ical and lega l obl igations but also certain
respo nsibilit ies to society that ext end beyond
these. ’ ’ Hay and Gray (1974) proffere d a histor ical
