Stakeholders & the Social Contract in CSR

Corporate social responsibility (CSR) is businesses' responsibility to society. It is about businesses taking steps to improve the lives of their employees, customers, and the communities in which they operate. CSR can be implemented in diverse ways, including environmental initiatives, social programs, and ethical business practices. CSR can help businesses to improve their reputation, attract and retain customers and employees, and reduce their risk of legal liability. CSR can also help businesses to improve their bottom line by reducing costs and increasing efficiency. As businesses become more aware of the importance of CSR, they are investing more in CSR initiatives. This is creating new jobs in the CSR industry and providing opportunities for businesses to differentiate themselves from their competitors.
