Corporate Social Responsibility of IBBL:

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR, also called corporate conscience, corporate citizenship,
social performance, or sustainable responsible business/ Responsible Business) refers to the
concept that an enterprise is accountable for its impact on all relevant stakeholders. It is the
continuing commitment by business to behave fairly and responsibly and contribute to
economic development while improving the quality of life of the work force and their families
as well as the local community and society at large. CSR is not about philanthropy or charitable
work. It is about how companies take responsibility for their actions in the world at large.


The role of business worldwide and specifically in the developed economies has evolved over
the last few decades from classical profit maximizing approach to a social responsibly
approach, where businesses are not only responsible to its stockholders but also to all of
its stakeholders in a broader inclusive sense. To address the social problems or the problems of
the stakeholders, the business community evolved a new approach in their business strategies
named CSR and through CSR enterprises are intent to strike a balance between economic and
social goals, where resources are used in a rational manner and social needs are be addressed
responsibly.
