Today CSR has emerged as a significant theme in the global business community and is gradually becoming a mainstream activity. These trends have contributed to the pressure on companies to operate in an economically, socially and environmentally sustainable way. A well-managed CSR creates social and environmental value, while supporting company's business objectives and enhancing relationships with key stakeholders and customers.
CSR helps to assist socially and economically weaker sections of the society to overcome hardship and also creates assets for the development of rural/urban society and to enhance increased commitment at all levels in the organization towards reinforcing the social and environmental conscience of the company.
