Corporate Social Responsibility

FIs are one of the major sources of financing investment for commercial projects which is one of the most important economic activities for economic growth. Therefore, this sector can play a crucial role in promoting environmentally sustainable and socially responsible investment. Thus, encouraging environmentally responsible investments and prudent lending should be one of the responsibilities of the banking sector. For professionals corporate social responsibility involves the tenets of sustainability, ethical lending, conservation and energy efficiency. Contrary to popular belief, corporate social responsibility involves a much wider scope of activities than simple donations and charitable activities. A responsible and sustainable business organization is one that does not only share profits with its stakeholders, but also ensures minimum negative impact on its surrounding environment, both ecological and social, through its products, policies and practices.
