Abstract

CSR is described by the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) as the integration of social and environmental issues into corporate operations and relationships with customers and other stakeholders. According to most people, corporate social responsibility (CSR) is the process through which a firm balances its economic, environmental, and social responsibilities while also meeting the expectations of shareholders and other stakeholder groups. There is a big difference between CSR and philanthropy/charity since CSR is a business strategy. The CSR policy of a corporation affects not just the firm's charitable efforts but also its business operations, supply chain, and human resource.CSR aims to promote a beneficial influence on the environment, customers, workers, communities, stakeholders, and all other members of the public sphere via the company's operations.
