CSR stands for Corporate Social Responsibility.
In simple terms, CSR means that companies are responsible for giving back to society. While they earn profits, businesses also strive to improve people's lives and protect the environment.
Through CSR, companies support activities such as :
- Education and skill development
- Healthcare and sanitation
- Environmental protection
- Rural development
- Women empowerment and livelihood support
In India, CSR is a legal requirement for certain companies under the Companies Act, 2013. This law requires them to spend a portion of their profits on social development. Overall, CSR is about conducting business responsibly and helping society grow alongside the company.
