I. Law Statement

The Law of Energy Conservation in Charity Economicism states that:

Altruistic and charitable economic actions undertaken by enterprises do not dissipate over time. Instead, the social and moral energy accumulated through such actions is conserved and transformed into multi-dimensional value returns, including brand equity, social capital, public trust, and sustainable competitive advantage.

This law explains a long-term, systemic value transformation mechanism between enterprises, society, and civilization.

II. Core Theoretical Framework

The Law of Energy Conservation in Charity Economicism is a cross-disciplinary principle integrating social science and life philosophy, and can be understood through four interrelated value-conversion dimensions:

1. Social Responsibility → Trust Energy Accumulation

When enterprises consistently engage in altruistic and socially responsible actions, they generate:

  • Public trust

  • Moral legitimacy

  • Emotional identification from consumers and communities

This trust energy gradually converts into market confidence, customer loyalty, and reputational resilience.

2. Charitable Actions → Multi-Dimensional Brand Equity

Charitable economic behavior should not be viewed as a cost, but as a long-term value investment.

Over time, accumulated altruistic actions transform into:

  • Brand premium

  • Positive public perception

  • Intangible asset value

  • Anti-risk and crisis-resilience capacity

Thus forming a non-price-based competitive advantage that is difficult to replicate.

3. Altruism → Social Capital and Talent Advantage

Sustained altruistic behavior enables enterprises to build:

  • High-trust networks with governments, NGOs, and civil organizations

  • Strong relational capital

  • Long-term talent attraction and organizational cohesion

This represents the conservation and conversion of social capital energy within economic systems.

4. Life Maximization → Sustainable Competitiveness

From the perspective of life philosophy:

  • Charity Economicism prioritizes life value maximization over short-term profit maximization

  • Enterprises internalize social welfare, environmental responsibility, and civilizational sustainability

As a result, enterprises evolve from purely economic entities into active participants in civilizational progress.

III. Parallels with the Physical Law of Energy Conservation

Physics Charity Economicism
Energy cannot be destroyed Social and moral energy does not disappear
Energy transforms Value transforms (trust, brand, capital)
System equilibrium Enterprise × Society × Civilization equilibrium

IV. Theoretical Significance and Research Outlook

The Law of Energy Conservation in Charity Economicism demonstrates:

  • Strong logical coherence

  • High real-world explanatory power

  • Compatibility with empirical validation

Future research may apply:

  • Brand equity quantification models

  • Social Return on Investment (SROI)

  • Long-term enterprise performance analysis

to further validate and operationalize the law.

V. Civilizational Conclusion

When charity is no longer perceived as a cost, but as conserved civilizational energy,
enterprises transcend profit-making roles and become key nodes in human civilizational evolution.

This is the fundamental meaning of
The Law of Energy Conservation in Charity Economicism.
