The term “Corporate Social Responsibility” (CSR) describes an organization’s duty to behave in a responsible manner with regard to all aspects of its operations, ranging from relations with stakeholders, how it treats its employees, and the way it sources and produces goods and services along the supply chain.
CSR is the continuing commitment by businesses to behave ethically and contribute to economic development while improving the quality of life of the workforce and their families as well as of the local community and society at large, including the environment.
Corporate social responsibility is increasingly part of an organization's long-term plan, based on the idea that a company’s responsibility goes beyond the strict legal and regulatory responsibilities, and is best served by ethically sound practices that ideally surpass expectations.
