What is Corporate Social Responsibility?
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is a term covering how the business community can take responsibility with respect to its impact on people, planet and profit – also known as the Triple Bottom Line (TBL). In other words, CSR is how corporations take responsibility for contributing to, rather than becoming a barrier to, sustainable development.
Responsible corporations optimise their business strategies to create sustainable solutions for:
• Human beings
• The environment
• The economy
We use the term Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) interchangeably with terms such as Corporate Citizenship, Corporate Responsibilities, Corporate Sustainability: how corporations ensure that they do not pose a barrier, but instead proactively contribute to sustainable social, environmental and economic development.
