Corporate Social Responsibility

Abstract

We are now in an era where being socially responsible is what is expected of all organizations regardless of where such organizations are based and what they do. Being socially responsible must start from the very top of the organization; those at the very top must believe in the concept of CSR and what it expects them to do. Leaders of organization in the twenty-first century are expected to address many CSR issues which affect their areas of operation and impact on their stakeholders. Most organizational leaders are too aware of the serious consequences of ignoring their responsibilities to their stakeholders and the environment. These areas where responsibility is desired are no longer few in modern times; in fact stakeholders expect organizations to go well beyond these expected areas of responsibility.
