What is CSR:-

Corporate social responsibility (CSR) is a company’s commitment to manage the social,

environmental and economic effects of its operations responsibly and in line with public
expectations.

It is part of a company’s approach to corporate governance and often touches every part of the

CSR activities may include:

 Company policies that insist on working with partners who follow ethical business practices

 Supporting charitable organizations in the communities where a company operates
 Promoting equal opportunities for men and women at the executive level
