Ethics and Social Responsibility

    Ethics is defined as the moral principles or values that generally govern the conduct of an individual or group. With that said Monster Cable values are firmly placed in the well being of local communities. Monster Cable appears to be a very socially conscious company. As noted in their website they "pride their-self in the work it does to help those who are in less then fortunate circumstances". Evidence of this can be found in a section on Monster's website to the many charities they contributes to. Here is a list  some of the charities that Monster Cable sponsors:

      But of all of those charitable contribution the one that seems to have made the biggest impact in their local community of San Francisco was the creation of Monster Park. From 2004 to 2008 Monster Cable brought the right to Candlestick Park Stadium, renaming it Monster Park. Candlestick Park was the home to professional sports teams such as the San Francisco Giants (1960-1999), San Francisco 49ers(1971-Present) and Oakland Raiders(1961). It was also the location of Rock and Roll legends The Beatles finally concert in 1966. The San Francisco Recreation and Parks Department receive a significant financial contribution from Monster through the parks creation.

       Each year Monster hosts numerous family friendly community events such as Easter egg hunts, festivals  and concerts. Founder Noel Lee was awarded The Los Angles Unified Humanitarian Award proven that alll of the companies goodwill has not gone unnoticed. Althought some may argue that Monster Cable's products are overpriced, it is good to know that their corporate social responsibilities are deeply rooted in continually community development.
