What is CSR?

Today's(Wednesday's) class was introduction of CSR.
The class started from a question "What is CSR?". Our definitions are "business going an extra mile(outside financial value) to add value to society", "refraing from activities activities that harm society", " add value to society beyond legal or duty"

And a question, "what is duty?" was following. In our defenition, it was "law about safety(employee, customer, environment)", "corperate law".

Last one was "what is society?" It was difficult to define. "people, stakeholder, and environment".


In some literature, CSR is difined as "value-driven" activity.


I was not so interested in the class because my corncern is a little bit different form sustainability. But I became understood that "sustainability" means not only environment but also poverish or developing countries, agriculture!
