What is corporate social responsibility?
Our Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) company policy refers to our responsibility toward our environment. Our company’s existence is part of a larger system of people, values, other organisations and nature. The social responsibility of a business is to give back to the world just as it gives to us.
