Corporate Social Responsibility

Better Business, for everyone

Corporate Social Responsibility, or CSR, is a mechanism by which companies hold themselves to a set of legal, ethical, social and ecological standards. It is a form of business self-regulation that has developed alongside greater public awareness of ethical and environmental issues.
Within CSR there are multiple types of action:

Philanthropic Efforts

Environmental Conservation

Company Diversity and Labor Practices

Supporting Volunteer Efforts

CSR often involves liasing with "stakeholders" in order to seek the best outcome for both the business and the local community and environment. A stakeholder is a party that has an interest in a company and can either affect or be affected by the business. The primary stakeholders in a typical corporation are its investors, employees, customers and suppliers. However, the modern theory of the idea goes beyond this original notion to include additional stakeholders such as a community, government or trade association.
