Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is a business-driven response, which covers social, economical and environmental concerns. It is a continually evolving process adopted in various markets.

 
 
 

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is a term that has acquired a prominent place in the corporate lexicon in the recent years. This term means different things to different people. To some it is a responsibility, to others it is a voluntary initiative and to yet others it is an opportunity. No matter what it is called and termed as, but the fundamentals remain the same i.e., they have to look beyond legal compliance in areas of environment, social and economy.

Different organizations have different definitions of CSR but there are many similarities among them. These definitions generally focus on how organizations should manage their core business along with concentrating on social, economical and environmental values and take due care of the interests of the stakeholders. The World Business Council, for Sustainable Development of the companies, defines CSR as "The continuing commitment by business to behave ethically and contribute to economic development while improving the quality of life of the workforce and their families as well as of the local community and society at large."
