Abstract
To accomplish the sustainable development goals( SDGs), corporations are required to consider not only present but also future generations’ well-beings. This article applies communitarian perspective to explain that corporations have responsibilities to their future generations because they are the member of transgenerational communities. Applied this logic, this article proposes three responsibilities to their futures: Disclosure and recording information, responsibilities to natural environment, and contributing to the development of communities. This article is concluded by discussing theoretical and practical implications, and limitations.
