Marketing's Take on Corporate Social Responsibility: Creating Long-Term Brands with Social Impact Projects

Abstract

The term "corporate social responsibility" (CSR) describes the extra efforts that a single corporate organization makes for the benefit of society and the environment at large. This program is a way for the businesses to give back to the community that provides them with revenue. Businesses can develop a durable brand image by focusing on societal issues related to the environment, economy, and social issues. Clients will view such businesses as socially responsible businesses. This study explains CSR ideas and the connection between CSR initiatives and brand development. Businesses like Tata Steel, ITC, and Mahindra & Mahindra go to great lengths to create a strong brand identity so that their business objective is never forgotten. This article suggests that companies should build their brands using social responsibility because the long-term benefits of corporate responsibility outweigh the risks and costs. The author makes the case that funding CSR projects has long-term advantages that exceed the expenses and dangers involved. Companies that embrace corporate social responsibility (CSR) not only fulfill their moral commitments but also position themselves for sustainable success in the competitive marketplace, as customers emphasize ethical factors in their purchase decisions. As a result, this study promotes a strategic approach to corporate social responsibility (CSR) in order to build brand equity and business resilience and promote positive social change.
