Violet: "I believe that human capital cannot be a substitute of the multiple processes applicable to natural capital, which are
vital to human existence. We need to establish the relationship of corporates to citizenship in the context of recent
shifts in business-society relations, where corporations take over many of the roles and actions previously associated
with government."
Wise: "I consider natural and human capital as substitutable with each other. 1 believe that corporate citizenship is a
discretionary activity for corporates to make a choice to put something back into the community, with a specific interest
for their corporation."
