Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)

Corporate social responsibility, or CSR, is a company's commitment to operate ethically and contribute to society and the environment beyond what the law requires.

CSR earns trust only when claims are backed by proof such as data, third-party verification and visible follow-through. Overstated or unsupported claims invite accusations of greenwashing and become a reputation risk.
