Abstract

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) or corporate responsibility is corporate governance, corporate citizenship and sustainability. It provides a balanced consideration of social, ethical, financial and environmental requirements in business activities. Very little research has been conducted in this field where corporate social responsibility has been described with the application of evidence-based management.
