What is corporate social responsibility? There are many different definitions of corporate social responsibility (CSR) but most commonly used to describe a company’s commitment to operating in a way that takes into account not only the financial implications of business decisions, but also the social and environmental impact it has on the community.
Increasingly, investors, customers and employees think that economic growth should be linked to environmental and social well-being. By embracing corporate social responsibility, a company can also increase its competitive advantage, as consumers place more value on good and ethical conduct. Corporate social responsibility is essential for organisations looking beyond the short term. It is fundamentally about improving the sustainability of the business, whether by increasing brand value or helping to recruit and retain quality staff.
