Introduction Corporate investments should not only present economic gains to the investor and other stakeholders but also promote good corporate citizenship. First and foremost, it is important for the management of any business organization to take into consideration various factors before the establishment of the venture. These factors surpass the rate of returns for the stockholders and the existing laws and encompass such issues as social justice and protection of human rights (Rendtorff, 2009). The US based Texaco and SoCal companies for instance focused primarily on the rate of return on investment as well as adherence to the South African laws before deciding to invest in the country. These factors are however insufficient in making such investment decisions and the welfare of the community within which the companies operate and the civil society need to be taken into account. The establishment and operations of a firm in a manner that upholds justice and fairness as well as protecting the human rights promotes business ethics (Jones, Parker, & Bos, 2005). Despite the evidenced economic benefits associated with the establishment of Caltex in South Africa, the company’s involvement in violations of moral rights and justice is an issue of concern. It is noteworthy that the company has been instrumental in the improvement of economic working conditions of its black employees by increasing their wages, improving the general economic growth of South Africa, as well as benefiting the government through such things as taxes and direct supplies of petroleum products. Moreover, the company adopted the 1977 Sullivan principle that ensured enhanced working conditions for all of its employees irrespective of their race.

At the outset, any business venture should not only focus on the internal constituencies of the firm including welfare of the shareholders, management and employees but also enhance the corporate citizenship and value-driven management concerning the external constituencies of the firm (Rendtorff, 2009). These external factors include the welfare of customers, suppliers, government, local community and the civil society. Caltex Company has been adamant in enforcing the corporate social responsibilities and business ethics in regard to the external environment of the firm. For instance, the company never ventured in education of blacks as well as enforcement of fair labor practices. Furthermore, Caltex engaged in moral violations and injustice by failing to acknowledge the black labor unions and supporting influx control over labor as well as disallowing black workers to stay with their families among others. Generally, the community within which the business venture is located should appreciate the presence of the firm in their midst by enjoying benefits accruing from its operations. The benefits go beyond economic gains that are claimed by Caltex to encompass the restoration of social rights and justice of the local community (Jones, Parker, & Bos, 2005). First and foremost, it is important to appreciate the benefits that have been brought by the establishment and operations of both Texaco and Chevron in South Africa. The two companies have improved the living standards o
