(Answer in 150 words) 10\u00a0<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Answer\"><\/span>Answer: <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is generally defined as a corporate initiative aimed at evaluating and taking responsibility for a company&#8217;s impact on the environment and its influence on social welfare. This includes activities such as eradicating extreme hunger and poverty and ensuring environmental sustainability.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>CSR possesses several features:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Self-Regulating Model<\/strong>: CSR operates as a self-regulating business model, enabling a company to be socially accountable to itself, its stakeholders, and the public.\u00a0<\/li><li><strong>Improved Work Culture<\/strong>: Engaging in CSR activities can foster stronger connections between employees and corporations, enhance morale, and help individuals on both sides feel more connected to the world around them.\u00a0<\/li><li><strong>Corporate Citizenship<\/strong>: By practicing CSR, also known as corporate citizenship, companies can be aware of the impact they have on all aspects of society, including economic, social, and environmental factors.\u00a0<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite the wealth generated by the corporate sector, there exists a significant disparity in wealth distribution. The rich continue to accumulate more wealth while the poor face increasing poverty, which contradicts the principles of social welfare. Although the Companies Act encourages companies to allocate approximately 2% of their average net profit to CSR activities, this alone will not be sufficient to address environmental and climatic issues.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/edukemy.com\/upsc\/upsc-essay?utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Banner&amp;utm_campaign=Essay\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/edukemy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/UPSC-Essay-Course-1280\u00d7300-1-3.svg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-42688 lazyload\" width=\"781\" height=\"182\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 781px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 781\/182;\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"In_case_you_still_have_your_doubts_contact_us_on_9811333901\"><\/span><strong>In case you still have your doubts, contact us on 9811333901.<\/strong>&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For UPSC Prelims Resources,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/edukemy.com\/upsc-cse-prelims-resource-centre\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Click here<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For Daily Updates and Study Material:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Join our Telegram Channel &#8211;&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/t.me\/WithEdukemy4IAS\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Edukemy for IAS<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>1.
