What is corporatesocial responsibility?
• Corporate Social Responsibility is a management concept whereby companies integrate social and
environmental concerns in their business operations and interactions with their stakeholders. CSR is generally
understood as being the way through which a company achieves a balance of economic, environmental and
social imperatives (“Triple-Bottom-Line- Approach”), while at the same time addressing the expectations of
shareholders and stakeholders. In this sense it is important to draw a distinction between CSR, which can be a
strategic business management concept, and charity, sponsorships or philanthropy. Even though the latter can
also make a valuable contribution to poverty reduction, will directly enhance the reputation of a company and
strengthen its brand, the concept of CSR clearly goes beyond that.
• Promoting the uptake of CSR amongst SMEs requires approaches that fit the respective needs and capacities of
these businesses, and do not adversely affect their economic viability. UNIDO based its CSR programmed on the
Triple Bottom Line (TBL) Approach, which has proven to be a successful tool for SMEs in the developing
countries to assist them in meeting social and environmental standards without compromising their
competitiveness. The TBL approach is used as a framework for measuring and reporting corporate performance
against economic, social and environmental performance. It is an attempt to align private enterprises to the goal
of sustainable global development by providing them with a more comprehensive set of working objectives than
just profit alone. The perspective taken is that for an organization to be sustainable, it must be financially secure,
minimize (or ideally eliminate) its negative environmental impacts and act in conformity with societal
expectations.

positive standpoint as well because it recognises accomplishments too.

judgments bearing in mind the best interests of the stakeholders. This is

that there is no force of hand being used or that the director does not
have any personal interests with the company thereby hampering his
ability to make decisions freely.
