The social function of business includes the integration of social, environmental, ethical and human rights concerns into its business strategy and operations, i.e., the purpose of corporate social responsibility is to give back to the community. And when you give back to others, you also get positive results.

Corporate social responsibility is about implementing efforts to preserve the environment, whether it's recycling your products, donating to relevant causes or reducing your emissions.

In other words, corporate social responsibility aims to create a sustainable business in the broad sense, where people and the environment are respected at every stage of the process of creating and marketing a product or service.
