    Solution

    The concept of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is based on the Stakeholder Theory. Edward Freeman defines a stakeholder in an organization as any group or individual who can affect or is affected by the achievement of the organization’s objectives. This includes, but is not limited to, shareholders, customers, employees, suppliers, the community, the environment, and society at large. The Stakeholder Theory underpins CSR by advocating that companies have a responsibility to consider the impacts of their decisions on all these groups, thus integrating social, environmental, and ethical concerns into their business processes beyond their legal obligations.
