Social responsibility has emerged as a concept designed to reduce the adverse impacts of corporate activity on society and the environment.

Social responsibility is therefore the call to integrate social and environmental concerns and the enterprise that places moral duty, transparency, and ethical behavior as a tenable part of any organization’s strategy and long-term objective.
