In order to do that one of the car companies in Erbil, has been chosen to have an overview about the customers, whether they have a system or a certain procedure toward customers, suppliers, shareholders and community as a whole. In previous years, organizations believe that there is a negative relationship between business and being socially responsible, but in now a days there is external pressure for the organizations to be socially responsible by monitoring the organizations and reporting their social performance so that the company value and the level confidence of the stakeholders increase. A survey of an Iraqi Private company has been taken and analyzed as the best example for the subject research.
