Corporate Social Responsibility is an idea that allows companies to evaluate how their operations impact the environment and social concerns. CSR encourages organizations to look at the triple bottom line and their operational and strategic responsibilities. CSR encourages firms to look beyond profit margins or increased turnover and instead focus on the impact of their operations on all stakeholders. This includes workers, investors and consumers.
