Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is a management philosophy that enables a company to be socially accountable to its employees, shareholders, and the general public. It is concerned with a company's sense of duty to the community and the ecosystem (both ecological and social) in which it works. It is an important factor that determines a company's development, brand image, and profits.

A degree in Corporate Social Responsibility teaches students how to examine, investigate, and evaluate a wide range of business issues. They learn to address ethical questions about business and management, as well as to think about complicated topics from a range of socially conscious viewpoints. CSR activities also aid in the development of stronger bonds between workers and businesses. Most colleges and universities offer Corporate Social Responsibility as a Master's Degree, as a specialisation, or as a short-term course. It has a multi-disciplinary approach and provides students with useful business knowledge as well as communication, problem-solving, and leadership skills.

CSR is an important aspect in any business as it helps companies become socially responsible for cultivating positive brand recognition, increasing customer loyalty, and attracting top-tier employees. These factors, along with many others, are critical for any business to achieve increased profitability and long-term success.
