CSR - Corporate Social Responsibility
The Government sees CSR as the business contribution to our sustainable development goals. Essentially it
is about how business takes account of its economic, social and environmental impacts in the way it operates
– maximizing the benefits and minimizing the downsides
Specifically, we see CSR as the voluntary actions that business can take, over and above compliance with
minimum legal requirements, to address both its own competitive interests and the interests of wider society
