Corporate social responsibility is an ideological theory that a business organization can be considered to be a social entity and thus has responsibilities towards the society at large in similar fashion as governments and individuals. CSR is most commonly defined as "economic, legal, ethical, and discretionary expectations that society has of organizations at a given point in time" (Carroll and Buchholtz 2003).
