From the idea of Corporate Governance
and business ethics flows the concept of
Social Responsibility.
As a famous saying goes,
“With great power comes great
responsibility.”
“Corporate Social Responsibility is
operating a business in a manner which
meets or exists the ethical, legal,
commercial and public expectations that a
society has from business.”
US – UK Tradition
“Corporate Social Responsibility is thecontinuing commitment by business tobehave ethically and contribute to theeconomic development while improvingthe quality of life of the workforce and theirfamilies as well as of the local communityand the society at large.”
- The world business council for Sustainable Development in 2004
To create wealth
To generate employment
To provide environment in which business
can sustain and prosper
Role of business is supplementary and
complimentary
CSR is behavior by businesses over and above legal requirements.
CSR is intrinsically linked to the concept of sustainable development.
CSR is not an optional “add-on” to business core activities but about the way businesses are managed.
