Socially responsible organisations may encounter many problems and issues of ethics, and these can influence their own operations, that is, their image, partners, and that is stakeholders.

Stakeholder management becomes particularly challenging in such a type of situation. The organizations should practice transparency by communicating freely to different stakeholders, interpreting their expectations and goals, and absorbing the conflicts through high level process of inclusive and transparent management.

A compromise, which would account for both immediate and longer-term consequences, shall be made, choosing best practices that fulfil two or more roles at a time.

Organisations should strongly arguability be in such decision-making processes that involve various opinions from different sides and mainly should prioritize those activities which address the needs of the multitude of consumers.
