Introduction The rapid rise in industrialization has given rise to the use of fossil fuel as the main source of fuel for our industries. Ever since the time of the industrial revolution in the world, the main source of fuel for these industries and the supporting inputs has been fossil fuel. Fossil fuel has been classified as the leading environmental polluter of our time. It has caused the global warming phenomenon which has given rise to changing climate. Starting with prolonged droughts which have affected many developing countries where the population is affected by unending hunger and the demand for food aids is ever rising in this world. Then is the flooding phenomenon of El nino and the accompanying Katrina and other hurricanes. It is estimated the world is yet to experience the worst of environmental pollution if necessary steps are not taken. Recent surveys have shown that the ice caps are disappearing very fast and the level of water in seas is fast rising. Indeed, the effects of climate change due to the emissions of carbon dioxide gas to the atmosphere are affecting every one of us, and this calls for consulting efforts in reducing the emission. This gives rise to the concept of social responsibility (John and Henry, 2007). Corporate Social responsibility Corporate Social responsibility calls for commitment to meet social obligations. Social responsibility is a more practical way of giving back to the community in which we all belong. It is a concept that calls for us to care about our surroundings. According to Roberst and Alito (2007), the concept has ignited a heated debate about its need and if it would achieve the desired results. Most companies in the United States have been against the concept although the majority of the companies in the rest of the world have agreed to the concept of cutting down the emission. Imagine a company dealing manufacture of chemicals and uses sulfur dioxide as one of the chemical ingredients. As we are all aware sulfur dioxide is a harmful gas that produces a foul smell hence the environment around the industry would be inhabitable. It means that the chemical will collude that any metallic material in its surrounding. This calls for the corporate responsibility of the company to answer to the problems facing the community around it of which it is the direct cause. The concept of social responsibility is a new turn in the world and it has risen due to many problems that are facing the world currently. The last century’s economic drive was based on individual companies or country achievement and it never took into consideration the effects of our activities on our neighbors. One of the biggest drivers of social responsibility has been the climate change that has taken place in the world. The effects of climate change have not affected the developed countries alone but it has also affected the developing world and in a much serious way than the developed world. The developed countries with their industries polluting the environment ten folds the developed countries have responded in a way by accepting their part and are in the process of cutting their gas emission to the environment. It beats our logic that countries in Africa should be suffering from prolonged droughts and floods while some of the countries themselves have very li
