A Study of Food Enterprises’ Awareness and Behaviors for Social Responsibility

This study is undertaken to evaluate and promote the Chinese food enterprises’ awareness and behaviors for social responsibility. In the survey, the researcher releases 500 copies of questionnaire to the senior managers in Chinese food enterprises. After excluding invalid respondents, the researcher gets 376 valid copies. Then the researcher conducts a descriptive statistical and factor analysis to the copies of questionnaire. The result shows that: firstly, Chinese food enterprises’ awareness of social responsibility is relatively poor; secondly, the majority of food enterprises fulfill their social responsibility passively. Based on the above conclusions, this paper proposes four paths to promote Chinese food enterprises to fulfill social responsibility better, i.e. establish the belief in social responsibility, expand the intensification of food business, make best use of the industrial association and strengthen the government supervision and regulation.
