Corporate social responsibility (CSR) is a topic that is increasingly capturing the interest and imagination of people in the business world. However, despite all of the attention that has been given to this issue, there is still much confusion and many misperceptions surround it. In order to understand CSR, one must consider the holistic attempt, on the part of a firm, to engage and conduct a meaningful dialogue with a wide spectrum of constituents or Stakeholders. The Stakeholders are any individual or group that might affect or be affected by the organization's activities. Examples to stakeholders are employees, suppliers, contractors, customers/clients, shareholders, government, community leaders and non-governmental organizations.
