Abstract

Corporate social responsibility describes the duties of organizations towards the society whereby the issues of voluntariness and going beyond compliance are stressed. Hence, corporate social responsibility of organizations could be understood as “doing more than they are required to do under applicable laws and regulations governing the environment, worker safety and health, and investments in the communities they work”. Today, we anticipate a sort of transformation that will infuse the broader principles of CSR into ordinary business expectations and businesses aspire to maintain the livelihood of their employees, and to contribute to the local and regional economy.
