Corporate social responsibility (CSR) is a form of corporate self-regulation integrated into a business model. CSR policy functions as a built-in, self-regulating mechanism whereby a business monitors and ensures its adherence to law, ethical standards, and international norms. CSR can also be a form of marketing used by some companies to burnish their image with consumers or certain advocacy groups. Due to its rising popularity and prominence in the corporate world, CSR has become a lucrative and in-demand field of work in the world of academia.
