Corporate social responsibility (CSR) is the commitment of businesses to develop policies that incorporate responsible practices into daily business activities to improve the well-being of society. Many people constantly debate whether or not CSR should be legally recognized or not. Some people think that CSR should not be applied at all and think that CSR is interfering with laissez-faire, as it creates an environment in which businesses are not exempt from government intervention. People who support CSR say that CSR helps increase business profits for owners and at the same time improves the quality of life of business employees, communities and society. This paper will seek to demonstrate that CSR is a valid means of promoting workers' rights, workers' rights, consumer protection and respect for local communities, as well as discuss the impact of CSR on society. In my opinion, CSR must be supported on the basis of human rights and labor rights. I do not believe in CSR as a substitute for the efforts of human rights and workers' rights organizations; however, companies should promote the well-being of their employees and implement policies, procedures and activities to avoid violations of workers' rights. Although companies in the United States recognize their employees' right to organize and have policies against child labor, discrimination, minimum wage, and working hours, they do not implement the same business principles when operating in third world companies. countries, there are no workers' rights or human rights activists and in most cases government officials are the first to violate workers' rights in both the public and private sectors. According to Global Issues, ... at the heart of the paper ... the profit of companies, but also the quality of life of employees of companies, communities and society, it is my sincere belief that currently CSR should be applied or practiced voluntarily in order to increase both the profits of entrepreneurs and the quality of life of members of society in general.
