 What is Corporate Social Responsibility ?
 Corporate social responsibility (CSR) is a self-regulating business model that helps
a company be socially accountable to itself, its stakeholders, and the public. By
practicing corporate social responsibility, also called corporate citizenship, companies
can be conscious of the kind of impact they are having on all aspects of society,
including economic, social, and environmental.
 To engage in CSR means that, in the ordinary course of business, a company is
operating in ways that enhance society and the environment, instead of contributing
negatively to them.
 1. Woodland Pvt Ltd company

 Woodland's parent company, Aero Group, has been a well known name in the
outdoor shoe industry since the early 50s. Founded in Quebec, Canada, it entered the
Indian market in 1992. Before that, Aero Group was majorly exporting its leather shoes
to Russia. After the division of Russia into various states known as the USSR, the group
decided to launch some of its products in India. Hence, the first hand-stitched leather
shoe was launched, which took the entire shoe market by storm. That shoe made the
brand 'Woodland’.
