Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is a managerial principle in which companies incorporate social and environmental considerations into their business activities and engagements with stakeholders. CSR is commonly viewed as the method by which a company harmonizes economic, environmental, and social objectives using this Triple-Bottom-Line approach, all while meeting the expectations of shareholders and stakeholders. This approach aims to measure and optimize a company's performance not only in terms of financial profit (economic) but also its impact on the planet (environmental) and its contributions to social well-being (social).
Job Booster’s Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Advisory Services, works towards assisting and guiding Corporates, Institutions and Businesses to integrate the mandatory CSR activities into their business models, to build sustainable corporate self-regulation.

Key drivers include good corporate governance, ethical considerations, the desire to enhance reputation and brand image, meeting stakeholder expectations, legal compliance, risk management, seeking a competitive advantage, engaging and retaining employees, fostering innovation, and pursuing long-term financial success.
