Disappointing lack
of solidarity
|

Corporate Social Responsibility
(CSR) is a concept that all over the world most business firms claim
to observe.Associated with CSR are the terms “corporate
citizenship,” “responsible business,” “corporate social
opportunity” and “stakeholders.” In the CSR concept
organizations—not just business corporations—take care to work
for the interests of society by taking responsibility for the impact
of their activities on the environment, customers, suppliers,
employees, shareholders, communities and other stakeholders.
The
duty to earnestly consider society and communities transcends mere
laws prohibiting corporations from committing abuses or misusing
resources. The CSR concept requires that businesses volunteer to act
and help improve the quality of life of employees and their families
and the people of the community it is located and doing business in.
