What is Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), when it introduces and what is its
impact and importance?

The term "corporate social responsibility" came in to common use in the early 1970s, after
many multinational corporations formed. It generally refers to transparent business practices
that are based on ethical values, compliance with legal requirements, and respect for people,
communities, and the environment. Thus, beyond making profits, companies are responsible
for the totality of their impact on people and the planet. “People” constitute the company’s
stakeholders: its employees, customers, business partners, investors, suppliers and vendors,
the government, and the community. Increasingly, stakeholders expect that companies should
be more environmentally and socially responsible in conducting their business.

"Corporate Social Responsibility is the continuing commitment by business to behave


ethically and contribute to economic development while improving the quality of life of the
workforce and their families as well as of the local community and society at large"
(B.Mallen)

"A concept whereby companies decide voluntarily to contribute to a better society and a
cleaner environment. A concept whereby companies integrate social and environmental
concerns in their business operations and in their interaction with their stakeholders on a
voluntary basis". (B.Mallen)

Importance of CSR:

1. Social responsibility becomes an integral part of the wealth creation process - which if
managed properly should enhance the competitiveness of business and maximise the
value of wealth creation to society.

2. When times get hard, there is the incentive to practice CSR more and better - if it is a
philanthropic exercise which is marginal to the main business, it will always be the
first thing to go when push comes to shove.

How you can get success?

What Is Success?

Success is having all that you wanted to have. It's finding that you have
achieved your goals or fulfilled your plans and it's waking up in the
morning feeling victorious rather than feeling beaten up. Success is walking
proudly in the streets with your head up high while being happy and
satisfied.
The secrets to being successful

 Number of tries

Babies learn how to hold objects correctly by first holding them in all incorrect
ways. Each time the baby holds the object it falls off his hands and so it learns
something new about the correct way to hold it. After sufficient number of tries the
baby learns how to hold the object correctly. The same goes for any learning
process and for success. If you want to be successful then you must understand that
you have to keep failing until you discover what works.

 Be flexible

When you fail be flexible and change your method, try something new or a
different approach. Try to find out why you failed so that you fix it when trying the
next time. Each time you fail you will discover one new thing that was preventing
you from succeeding and after enough number of failures you will find nothing
standing in your way.

 Be 100% sure that you are going to reach your goals

Whenever someone told me you failed say him or her, I didn't fail that mean all the
time be confident about your ideas.
