Very well said Since businesses have a daily impact on millions of people's lives, one of their main objectives should be to have as positive an effect as possible. Also referred to as corporate citizenship, this is. This kind of CSR can be accomplished in a variety of ways, depending on

CSR is vital to any business plan. It is the way of the future! These days, sustainability is becoming a bigger topic and companies, if they are already not doing so, should shift focus towards the idea.

[@kwokhin3822]

Good lesson for CSR

[@ThomSimmons]

Sorry, but this video *seriously* confuses the concept of CSR with Business Ethics. They are NOT the same concepts.

[@csrnews]

the point is: we don't think so! ;-)

[@Joseph2kk]

lol. I thought i was the only one feeling that way.

[@skylerwaite]

Maybe 10 years ago that was true, but in 2019 they are essentially interchangeable terms. I will list the five pillars of CSR below so we can see how they are the similar. 1. Human rights and employment standards in the workplace 2. Ethical sourcing and procurement 3. Marketing and consumer issues 4. Environmental, health, and safety concerns 5. Community and good-neighbor policies The ethical decisions a business makes have an affect on society, starting with individuals within a company, who then affect society as a whole. The world is more connected than ever before, and we will only continue to close the gaps between us as the years go by.

Isn't it your social and ecological responsibility not to waste so much paper for one video?

[@realityphanatic5849]

Maybe part of her social responsability is to create jobs in the paper industry. If people will not throw paper away, there will be less demand for paper hence paper factories will make less profit and be forced to lay off some employees. No consumption -> Less Demand -> Less or no profit -> No need for production -> Unemployment.

[@bingetravelneat]

They have not used papers. It's visual effects and tools. White board video editor.

Good video, liked how you explained and used visual aids. However, the music is totally disturbing and i can not focus at all on what is beeing said, or i forget what´s said in 10 seconds.

It will look weird when I'm gonna put your video at my bibliography on my next presentation :D is the least I can do, spread the word and get you more subscribers.

[@nadjaberger9613]

Does that mean that charity is not a part of CSR (at all)? Since there are many companies that present their charitable actions as a part of their corporate social responsibility.

[@thomasbeschorneruniversita4734]

charity can be part but it is not the core idea of CSR; and if it is just charity what companies do, then there is something wrong with it.

[@nathanfyfe1033]

Charity is definitely great for an organisation's social reputation, but that falls under how they decide to spend their money. Charity is not a responsibility but rather benevolence or marketing.

[@iiebasics5294]

society is the group of human beings. one is dependent on others. as the human beings the basic needs are to be fulfilled for survival. everyone should work for others needs to meet our own needs. all our needs cant be met by our own. social responsibility is let live concept. if one lets others live we can get our needs met. this universe is giving all the needs to us in its form. we are converting this universe to meet our needs to live as human being. no doubt for this one has to work for others. we are using the nature for our needs but we are not giving anything to it. give to nature it certainly never fails giving to us.

What does he say at 3:56? Ontelogical or Tautological or Tauontelogical or some other word? I'm having a tough time working it out and what exactly is meant there. "Ontelogical" would seem to fit in terms of meaning but I really thought I heard a "t" at the beginning!

[@HSGUniStGallen]

It's "deontological" :)
