 Definition

Corporate social responsibility (CSR) is a business approach

that contributes to sustainable development by delivering
economic , social and environmental benefits for all
stakeholders.
Importance to be Socially Responsible
Social responsibility is important to a business because it
demonstrates to both consumers and the media that the
company takes an interest in wider social issues that have no
direct impact on profit margins. This, in turn , can lead to greater
profits for a business.
To determine the four faces of social responsibility requires
looking at two seperate dimensions of enterprise actions .
Legal socially irresponsible
Illegal socially responsible
Illegal and Irresponsible (Face A)
 Refusing to hire a person for a job because of sex, race
discriminationor physical disability.
 Using a cancer - causing preservative in food products knowing.
Illegal and Responsible (Face B)
Complying with one regulatory agency to improve product quality
and then being threatened with closure by another for creating
a safety hazard.
Legal and Irresponsible (Face C)
 Allowing inadequate ,but legal,working conditions that could
cause black lung disease in miners.
 Making a decision in an enterprise's interest but that will have
serious negative repercussions on its local community.

Legal and Responsible (Face D)

It is a category that would seemingly be without any problems. Yet
some stake holders have directed some criticism against
admittedly proactive responses.
