Introduction Environmental protection activities in the past have mostly been relegated to the society or the community with respective governments taking up the role of ensuring that these communities or societies have managed the environment properly. In the recent past, the government has shifted its focus to corporate organizations and business to participate in environmental management. They have provided direction to the private sector by creating rules, sanctions and regulations that most companies should follow as they adopt environmentally sound behavior. Many governments and business corporations around the world have begun to realize the critical roles they play in environmental protection as well as their contribution to economic growth. Corporate social responsibility (CSR) to the environment, also known as green management is the duty that the corporate society has to environmental conservation by ensuring its products, services and business operations do not harm the natural ecosystems. Corporate responsibility to the environment, which is also known as green management is the obligation that most companies have to environmental conservation. Businesses achieve corporate responsibility by eliminating greenhouse emissions and hazardous wastes as well as maximizing the efficient and productive use of raw materials while at the same time minimizing the adverse effects these resources will have to the environment. These activities are all geared towards creating a safe environment while at the same time, ensuring that there is economic growth in the market. The purpose of this paper will be to analyze the theories of economic justice and how these theories can be applied to corporate responsibility activities. Theories of Economic Justice The issue of economic justice and equality emerged during the 20 th century with most political theorist’s viewing the two concepts as synonymous. However, libertarians who emerged during this period saw inequality that was balanced to be beneficial to the society. This was based on the argument for survival of the fittest proposed by Darwin that sent out the message that equality was impossible in the natural context. Most of the political theorists and libertarians have emphasized the importance of inequality but a philosopher known as Robert Nozick has offered a different perspective from these theorists by stating that equalizing resources is immoral (Van der Walt, 2005). Robert Nozick was a philosopher who wrote on political and economic theories that were based on libertarian ideals of justice. He developed an economic model that formed the basis of his entitlement theory on economic justice, which stated that economic justice could only be achieved in a free market that did not have any taxation laws. Nozick saw government’s that imposed redistributive or equalizing taxation policies on their citizens as being unjust and creating an environment of forced labor. This line of thinking gave Nozick’s economic model more power and authority among economic justice circles as it argued for economic inequality within the society. Nozick viewed the taxation of an individual’s income or wealth as a way of enslaving that person to a smaller portion of
