No, I do not agree. There are plenty of benefits to a business being socially responsible.

Obviously you've never worked for a non-profit institution which could not sustain special programs, events and awareness without funding from a company whose goal was social responsibility. I used to be a children's librarian and business donations helped me to pass on wonderful benefits to kids and families they would have been otherwise hardpressed to find and enjoy! I disagree with you because I have lived the opposite of your question. (by the way, companies who "pollute" the atmosphere could be particularly generous in an effort to balance ... I don't know what...business karma?)

Think of it in the opposite. What are the effects of a business that is socially irresponsible? What would that entail? A company that paid its employees poorly, didn't offer health insurance, polluted the environment, degraded the community it was part of?
How could it possibly be bad to have a company that wanted to do the opposite of the things I've listed above?
