Answer:

Every business has a moral duty to be a good corporate citizen.

Step-by-step explanation:

Businesses are formed to make profit, and this is the primary goal of businesses. So when making a business case for a company to act in a socially responsible manner, the benefit to the business as profits is the primary consideration.

If it is argued that every business has a moral duty to be a good corporate citizen, it does not translate to profits or benefit for the company.

So this is a weak argument when a business case is being created for why businesses should act in a socially responsible manner.
