Corporate social responsibility (thereafter CSR) is an issue that has increasingly gained the interest of company mangers around the world.
It emphasises that companies should serve the community in which they operate as well as the other stakeholders (employees, consumers, suppliers, competitors, etc.) and make the world a better place to live.
