Question 1 · 1 mark · Difficulty 1/3

A bauxite mining company in Guyana discharges red mud slurry into a nearby river without treating it first. Which term BEST describes this action by the company?

  1. Ethical trading
  2. Social entrepreneurship
  3. Corporate social irresponsibility
  4. Environmental sustainability
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: C — Corporate social irresponsibility
Award 1 mark for A. Discharging untreated industrial waste into a natural water source harms the environment and surrounding communities, which is a violation of the company's duty to act responsibly toward society and the environment — the definition of corporate social irresponsibility. B is incorrect because environmental sustainability refers to practices that preserve natural resources for future generations, which is the opposite of what is occurring here. C confuses ethical trading (fair and honest commercial dealings) with environmental conduct. D is incorrect because social entrepreneurship involves creating businesses that solve social problems, not causing them.
Question 2 · 1 mark · Difficulty 1/3

A sugar cane processing plant in Barbados adopts a policy of donating 5% of its annual profits to local schools and hospitals. This practice is BEST described as:

  1. Profit maximisation
  2. Price discrimination
  3. Business ethics enforcement
  4. Corporate social responsibility
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: D — Corporate social responsibility
Award 1 mark for B. CSR refers to a business voluntarily contributing to the welfare of society beyond its legal obligations, which includes donating profits to community institutions such as schools and hospitals. A is incorrect because profit maximisation describes a business goal of earning the highest possible profit, not giving it away. C confuses price discrimination (charging different prices to different consumers) with community investment. D is incorrect because business ethics enforcement refers to upholding moral standards in operations, not philanthropic donations.

CXC CSEC Principles of Business: Ethical and Social Responsibility FAQ

Is Kramizo free for CXC CSEC students preparing for Principles of Business?
Yes — completely free. Every student gets 45 questions a day on the free plan, with no card required and no trial countdown. That free quota works across every subject and every topic in our bank, so you can mix Ethical and Social Responsibility practice with other Principles of Business topics or even switch to a totally different CXC subject without paying anything. Kramizo's optional Pro plan removes the daily cap and adds detailed progress analytics, but the free tier is the real product — used by thousands of GCSE, IGCSE and CSEC students.
Are the Ethical and Social Responsibility questions aligned to the official CXC CSEC Principles of Business syllabus?
Every question is written against the published CXC CSEC Principles of Business specification, including the exact command words (state, describe, explain, calculate, evaluate, etc.), mark allocations, and difficulty tier you'd see on a real CXC paper. Explanations are written in the style of official examiner mark schemes — they tell you what is being awarded marks and why distractors are wrong, not just whether you got it right. The bank is continually refined to match the latest syllabus updates from CXC.
How is Ethical and Social Responsibility typically tested on CXC CSEC Principles of Business papers?
Ethical and Social Responsibility appears across multiple question types on real CXC CSEC Principles of Business papers — most commonly as multiple-choice questions in the objective section, structured short-answer questions in the main paper, and occasionally as part of an extended response. Kramizo's practice bank reflects that mix: 4-option MCQs, true/false statements, fill-in-the-blank key terms, multi-select questions, and ordering questions. Working through the bank gives you exposure to every question style examiners actually use.
