Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is a self-regulating business model that helps a company to be socially accountable—to itself, its stakeholders, and the public. By practicing corporate social responsibility, companies can be conscious of the kind of impact they are having on all aspects of society, including economic, social, and environmental.
CSR is a way of conducting business, by which corporate entities visibly contribute to social good of the society as whole. Socially responsible companies use CSR to integrate economic, environmental, and social objectives with the company’s operations and growth. Sustainability is awareness that each entity is surrounded by various stakeholders and Building and cultivating good relations with stakeholders based on engagement and dialogue is crucial, because it not only affects the possibilities to manage risks, but also supports development and gives the organization a competitive edge.
A dedicated platform for the public and corporates to contribute their funds created by the Tamil Nadu government – Namma School Foundation and STEM have put up their stalls at the conference.
