What is Corporate Social Responsibility?

The awareness of businesses' Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is increasing.

CSR refers to a company's obligation to do business in a manner that meets or exceeds the ethical, legal, commercial and public expectations that society has of business.

Increasingly well-informed consumers and stakeholders are demanding clear, hard facts about a company's performance.
