CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

Corporate Social Responsibility is the process by which managers within an organization thinks about and discuss relationships with stakeholders as well as their roles in relation to the common good, along with their behavioral disposition with respect to the fulfillment and achievement of these roles and relationships.

Corporate social responsibility (CSR), also known as corporate responsibility, corporate citizenship, responsible business, sustainable responsible business (SRB), or corporate social performance, is a form of corporate self-regulation integrated into a business model Ideally, CSR policy would function as a built-in, self-regulating mechanism whereby business would monitor and ensure its adherence to law, ethical standards, and international norms Business would embrace responsibility for the impact of their activities on the environment, consumers, employees, communities, stakeholders and all other members of the public sphere Furthermore, business would proactively promote the public interest by encouraging community growth and development, and voluntarily eliminating practices that harm the public sphere, regardless of legality. Essentially, CSR is the deliberate inclusion of public interest into corporate decision-making and the honoring of a triple bottom line: People, Planet, and Profit.

The practice of CSR is subject to much debate and criticism. Proponents argue that there is a strong business case for CSR, in that corporations benefit in multiple ways by operating with a perspective broader and longer than their own immediate, short-term profits. Critics argue that CSR distracts from the fundamental economic role of businesses; others argue that it is nothing more than superficial window-dressing others yet argue that it is an attempt to pre-empt the role of governments as a watchdog over powerful Multinational Corporation

  • CORPORATE SOCIAL REPORTING PRACTICES IN INDIA: AN OVERVIEW Essay

    ...Introduction: Corporate social responsibility (CSR) assumes the responsibility of the corporations towards the community and society. CSR policy functions as a built-in, self-regulating mechanism whereby a business monitors and ensures its active compliance with the spirit of the law, ethical standards, and international norms. CSR is a process with the aim to embrace responsibility for the company's actions and encourage a positive impact through its activities on the environment, consumers, employees, communities and all other stakeholders. The World Business Council for Sustainable Development defines “Corporate Social Responsibility as the continuing commitment by business to behave ethically and contribute to economic development while improving the quality of life of the workforce and their families as well as of the local community and society at large.” The CSR definition used by Business for Social Responsibility is: “Operating a business in a manner that meets or exceeds the ethical, legal, commercial and public expectations that society has of business” On the other hand, the European Commission hedges its bets with two definitions wrapped into one: “A concept whereby companies decide voluntarily to contribute to a better society and a cleaner environment.A concept whereby companies integrate social and environmental concerns in their business operations and in...

    ...“Social Accounting Practices in India as a Corporate Social Responsibility” soniuttranchal@gmail.com Concept: The concept of Social Accounting originated in different forms by Adam Smith in 1776, Later on, Karl Marks and Engel also expressed their views about social costs in 1844. Pigou in 1920 also elaborated the divergence of Social and Private Costs. The concept of social accounting was clearly introduced in the 1970’s and later this concept received serious consideration from professional and academic accounting bodies. Social accounting as an approach began developing in the UK in the early 1970s, when the Public Interest Research Group established Social Audit Ltd. This has led to an increasing awareness of CSR, and the “triple bottom-line” of business success – measuring the business not only in its financial performance, but by its social and environmental impact as well. Social accounting is adopted mostly by developed nations but now developing nations are also adopting this concept as their management practice. The concept of Corporate Social Responsibility is underpinned by the idea that corporations can no longer act as isolated economic entities operating in detachment from broader society.

However corporate social responsibility can broadly be defined as a ‘‘concept whereby companies integrate social and environmental concerns in their business operations and in their interaction with their stakeholders on a voluntary basis’’ (Falkenberg and Brunsæl 2012).
