SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
Case study@IMPAQ JUN 2022
CSR vs. CSI
Corporate social responsibility (CSR) is how companies manage the business process to make
an overall positive impact on society and minimize any adverse impact on the environment.
Corporate social investment (CSI) is any social development activity that is not undertaken with
the aim of generating business income. In other words, CSR is what you do inside the business to
take care of society and the planet and CSI is what you do outside the business to take care of
society and the planet.
Keep the above information in mind and determine whether the following scenarios can be
seen as CSR , CSI or both.
Starbucks has established guidelines that ensure the company sources coffee
that is sustainably grown and processed.
Ben and Jerry's only uses fair trade ingredients and has developed a
sustainability program for dairy farms.
For every candle sold, Altered Seasons provides a meal to an American in need
through Feeding America.
