What is Corporate Social Responsibility?
Charitable Giving & Service, Ethical Business Practices & Economic Responsibility...
Investing in Industry & Society
CSR is a broad concept of corporate citizenship where companies conduct business ethically, encompassing a sensitivity towards social, cultural, economical and environmental issues. Policies implemented promote well-being and, at the same time, lessen negative impacts in society.
