Corporate social responsibility, better known as CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility), has now become a widely discussed topic across various sectors. As part of society, companies always seek to ensure environmental sustainability in the areas where they conduct their business operations.
Therefore, companies should recognize their responsibility for the operational impacts they have on society and the environment. In practice, CSR activities have mostly been carried out voluntarily and through philanthropy, making their scope relatively limited.
Every business has responsibilities toward several key stakeholders, including the environment, employees, customers, investors, and communities, at least those within the operational area of the company. Many companies believe that CSR can help them manage risks, intangible assets, internal processes, and relationships with both internal and external stakeholders.
There should be a shift in corporate paradigm so that companies not only prioritize profit generation, but also contribute to the welfare of surrounding communities while supporting good governance. In this context, the government plays a macro-level role in creating standards that can serve as guidelines and facilitate evaluation and assessment.
Furthermore, the implementation and execution of CSR programs should be adjusted according to each company’s policies. Therefore, the relationship between the government and the business sector should be built as a cooperative partnership, rather than a relationship between the “regulator” and the “regulated.”
