True
False

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is True.

Explanation:

From the description, it seems that World Extraction Corp is behaving in a socially responsible way – even though its stakeholders might not have the same view. Though in the long run, a company which behaves in socially responsible manner might accumulate enough goodwill from the society around it to be perceived with a good reputation, stakeholders who do not fit the company’s vision might end up being detrimental to the company’s business.
