INTRODUCTION
 Corporate Social Responsibility is
considered as a concept of management
where organisations integrate with the
social as well as environmental concerns
within the operations of business along
with interacting the stakeholders.

Identification of problem
 In the present scenario, the
current problem in context of CSR
identified here is the problem of
Environmental Degradation (Corporate
Social Responsibility, 2022).

Causes of problem:
 The causes of the problem of Environmental Degradation
are described as under:
 In the last few years, the number of registered and certified
organisations got reduced and scholars greatly debated the
drivers, benefits as well as barriers. But the latest reduction in the
registration of Environmental Management and Audit Scheme has
not been studied in a successful manner. There was unsolved
queries for the scholars, policy-makers as well as practitioners.
 Overpopulation is also a cause of the problem of environmental
degradation as rapid growth in population strains the natural
resources. Mortality rate also fell down because of healthy medical
facilities and lead to increment in the lifespan.

Solution to problem:
 The potential solution to the
respective problem is Recycle and
executing the habits of recycling into the
daily life of an individual is one of the most
precise as well as effective way
(Hundarenko, 2019).
 This solution would facilitate in lessening
the landfill waste, conserving natural
resources like water, air, soil, etc., saving
habitats, reducing pollution, reducing the
consumption of energy, slowing down the
global warming.

Strengths and weakness of solution:
 Strengths: Recycling helps in reducing the consumption of energy,
decreased the pollution level, slows the rate of natural resource,
fights with the global warming (Harris and Lloyd, 2021). Other
strengths of recycling is that this process is considered as very
environment-friendly and also helps in decreasing landfill waste.
 Weaknesses: The major weaknesses of recycling process are that it
is not always cost-effective method and also increases the up-front
costs. Recycled products are mostly of low quality which is also a
weakness of the recycling process.

CONCLUSION
 From above explanation of report, it has been concluded that
corporate social responsibility can help any organisation in reducing
the risks within its business and also improves its brand image.
