This report provides an analysis of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) requirements and the challenges businesses face in complying with them in today's competitive environment. It highlights the increasing focus of corporations on social responsibilities, such as women's rights, environmental protection, and poverty alleviation. Socially responsible companies project a more attractive image to consumers and shareholders, positively affecting their bottom lines. Consumers are increasingly aware of the need for social responsibility and demand ethically operating businesses. CSR demonstrates a company's focus on wider social issues rather than solely profit margins, bolstering the brand image. Examples of organizations practicing CSR, such as Thornton and Ernst & Young (UK), are provided. Thornton supports local charities and community-led projects, while E&Y focuses on empowering and inspiring youth through training and mentoring programs. The report also discusses the importance of adopting CSR practices, including positive public image, brand awareness, cost savings, competitive advantage, customer engagement, and employee engagement. Challenges related to performing CSR include considering it an exterior part of the business and focusing solely on customer demands. The report concludes that CSR is essential for both corporates and society, with companies needing to take steps to ensure compliance, as it offers benefits such as increased brand awareness, recognition, and improved employee and customer engagement.
