corporate activism

Corporate activism refers to companies taking a public stand on social, political, or environmental issues beyond their core business activities. This can involve advocating for policies, supporting social causes, or making changes within their operations to promote certain values. The aim is to influence public opinion, policymakers, or industry practices, aligning corporate actions with broader societal concerns. While it can enhance reputation and demonstrates responsibility, it may also invite debate about the appropriateness of businesses engaging in causes outside their primary scope.
