Introduction
Corporate Social Responsibility is the continuing
commitment by business to behave ethically and
contribute to economic development while improving the
quality of life of the workforce and their families as well
as of the local community and society at large says
Richard Watts Corporate social responsibility is thevoluntary assumption by companies of responsibilities
beyond purely economic and legal responsibilities.
Corporate responsibility is a vital issue in the
contemporary debate. Much of its currency comes from
the scale and influence of the modern corporation. Some
ventures are larger than many nation states. Their
influence extends across the globe. Their actions candetermine the prosperity of communities and the health
of environments. In recent years there has been
increased pressure on many companies and managers to
acknowledge their responsibility to society, and act in a
way that benefits society overall. Big business has been
criticized as being overly concerned with profit and failing
to take its broader responsibility.

Corporate social responsibility
(CSR)
Corporate social responsibility (CSR, also called
corporate responsibility, corporate citizenship, andresponsible business) is a concept whereby organizationsconsider the interests of society by taking responsibilityfor the impact of their activities on customers, suppliers,employees, shareholders, communities and otherstakeholders, as well as the environment. This obligationis seen to extend beyond the statutory obligation tocomply with legislation and sees organizations voluntarilytaking further steps to improve the quality of life foremployees and their families as well as for the localcommunity and society at large.
The practice of CSR is subject to much debate andcriticism. Proponents argue that there is a strongbusiness case for CSR, in that corporations benefit inmultiple ways by operating with a perspective broaderand longer than their own immediate, short-term profits.
Critics argue that CSR distracts from the fundamentaleconomic role of businesses; others argue that it isnothing more than superficial window-dressing; stillothers argue that it is an attempt to pre-empt the role ofgovernments as a watchdog over powerful multinationalcorporations.

Why People Do CSR?
Development
Business ethics is a form of the art of applied ethics thatexamines ethical principles and moral or ethical problemsthat can arise in a business environment.
Business ethics can be both a normative and adescriptive discipline. As a corporate practice and acareer specialization, the field is primarily normative. Inacademia, descriptive approaches are also taken. Therange and quantity of business ethical issues reflects thedegree to which business is perceived to be at odds withnon-economic social values. Historically, interest inbusiness ethics accelerated dramatically during the1980s and 1990s, both within major corporations andwithin academia.
Approaches
Some commentators have identified a difference betweenthe Continental European and the Anglo-Saxon
6
7/28/2019 f1-a2
11/29
approaches to CSR. And even within Europe thediscussion about CSR is very heterogeneous.
An approach for CSR that is becoming more widely
accepted is community-based development projects,such as the Shell Foundation's involvement in the FlowerValley, South Africa. Here they have set up an EarlyLearning Centre to help educate the community'schildren, as well as develop new skills for the adults.Marks and Spencer is also active in this communitythrough the building of a trade network with thecommunity - guaranteeing regular fair-trade purchases.Often alternative approaches to this are theestablishment of education facilities for adults, as well asHIV/AIDS education programmers. The majority of theseCSR projects are established in Africa.
Business benefits
The scale and nature of the benefits of CSR for anorganization can vary depending on the nature of theenterprise, and are difficult to quantify, though there is alarge body of literature exhorting business to adoptmeasures beyond financial ones (e.g., Deming's FourteenPoints, balanced scorecards). Orlizty, Schmidt, and Rynesfound a correlation between social/environmentalperformance and financial performance. However,businesses may not be looking at short-run financial
returns when developing their CSR strategy.
Human resources

A CSR programmed can be seen as an aid to recruitment
and retention, particularly within the competitive
graduate student market. Potential recruits often ask
about a firm's CSR policy during an interview, and having
a comprehensive policy can give an advantage
Risk management
Managing risk is a central part of many corporatestrategies. Reputations that take decades to build up can
be ruined in hours through incidents such as corruptionscandals or environmental accidents. These events canalso draw unwanted attention from regulators, courts,governments and media. Building a genuine culture of'doing the right thing' within a corporation can offsetthese risks.
Brand differentiation
In crowded marketplaces, companies strive for a uniqueselling proposition which can separate them from thecompetition in the minds of consumers. CSR can play arole in building customer loyalty based on distinctiveethical values. Several major brands, such as The Co-operative Group and The Body Shop are built on ethicalvalues. Business service organizations can benefit toofrom building a reputation for integrity and best practice.
License to operate
Corporations are keen to avoid interference in their
business through taxation or regulations. By taking
substantive voluntary steps, they can persuade
6
7/28/2019 f1-a2
13/29
governments and the wider public that they are taking
issues such as health and safety, diversity or the
environment seriously, and so avoid intervention. This
also applies to firms seeking to justify eye-catching
profits and high levels of boardroom pay. Those operating
away from their home country can make sure they stay
welcome by being good corporate citizens with respect to
labor standards and impacts on the environment
Critical analysis
CSR is entwined in the strategic planning process of manymultinational organizations. The reasons or drive behindsocial responsibility towards human and environmentalresponsibility whether driven by ulterior motives,enlightened self-interest, or interests beyond theenterprise, is subject to much debate and criticism.
Some critics argue that corporations are fundamentallyentities responsible for generating a product and/orservice to gain profits to satisfy shareholders.MiltonFriedman and others argue that there is no place forsocial responsibility as a business function. These criticspoint to the rule of corporate law that prohibits acorporation's directors from any activity that wouldreduce profits.
Other critics argue that the practice cherry-picks thegood activities a company is involved with and ignoresthe others, thus 'green washing' their image as a sociallyor environmentally responsible company.

Why Banglalink Do CSR
Banglalink do CSR because the corporations put in placesocial projects is for the commercial benefit they see inraising their reputation with the public or withgovernment. They suggest a number of reasons why self-interested corporations, solely seeking to maximizeprofits, are unable to advance the interests of society as
a whole. They point to examples where companies havespent a lot of time promoting CSR policies andcommitment to Sustainable Development on the onehand, whilst damaging revelations about businesspractices emerge on the other. The rise in popularity ofethical consumerism over the last two decades can belinked to the rise of CSR. As global population increases,so does the pressure on limited natural resources
required to meet rising consumer demandIndustrialization in many developing countries is boomingas a result of technology and globalization. Consumersare becoming more aware of the environmental andsocial implications of their day-to-day consumer decisionsand are beginning to make purchasing decisions relatedto their environmental and ethical concerns. However,this practice is far from consistent or universal.

Banglalink launches 5-year
beautification scheme at HajratShahjalal International Airport
Banglalink, a cell phone operator, has embarked on a
five-year beautification and development programmed
inside the Hajrat Shahjala International Airport (HSIA) to
make the airport a world class one.
As the HSIA seems to have lost its attraction in recent
years and its external beauty is faded away, the Civil
Aviation Authority of Bangladesh (CAAB) recently took
initiatives aiming to make the airport a truly international
airport, and to create a quality environment for the
passengers.
Banglalink has volunteered to support this initiative as
soon as the CAAB takes up the project.
The CAAB has accepted the Banglalink's proposal and the
mobile phone operating company has already started its
activities in changing the face of HSIA in a very short
time.
Under the project, Banglalink has already set up several
phone booths, mobile charging points, a fountain and
several tapestries inside the SHIA.

CSR: Ramadan style
The Iftar time in mind, Saidur Rahman was rushing homefrom his Motijheeloffice. The bankerhad no doubtsabout reaching hisfamily before Iftaras he had morethan two hours to
spare on thetraffic-cloggedDhaka streets.
But an apparentlynever-endinggridlock stuck his bus at Farmgate on his way to Mirpur.
Underprivileged children take their Iftar at an orphanage.Mobile phone operator Banglalink has come up with a CSR
initiative for the month of Ramadan to offer Iftar to theorphans, and people going home right before or during the
Iftar time. Banglalink

He was feeling helpless, with his family membersrepeatedly calling him if he would join them in Iftar.
Sensing no such possibility, Rahman told them: "No".
Two minutes were left for breaking the fast. Suddenlysome people representing a mobile phone company gotonto the bus and started distributing bottled water anddates among the passengers.
This was the way Banglalink opted for getting done its
corporate social responsibility (CSR) during the month ofRamadan.
The Egyptian company launched the initiative on the firstday of Ramadan with the aim to serve 90,000 people onthe streets with Iftar items and 9,000 orphans of 45orphanages with Iftar and dinner across the countryduring the month.
"It's totally unexpected. Many thanks to the company,"the banker said.
Everyday five teams having 10 members each offer Iftaritems at different points of Dhaka, Khulna andChittagong.
For the orphans an experienced cook makes the dinneron the orphanage premises.
"Banglalink initiative made happy more than 100students of my orphanage," said Asmot Jahan, deputysuperintendent of a government-run orphanage inMymensingh.

"There was a general expectation among the orphansthat they will get a feast during Ramadan from theauthorities. But the sudden arrangement by the companycame as a surprise gift to them," she said.
The company offered dinner to the girls at the orphanageon September 8.
"The dates and water distribution effort is unique andpractical too because when someone is going home rightbefore or during Iftar, very few options are available onthe roads. Our little effort will go a long way in making
that person smile," said Ahmed Abou Doma, chiefexecutive officer of Banglalink.
The programmes in the orphanages are something veryclose to our hearts as these children deserve the verybest and more so during the month of holy Ramadan, headded.
In the six operators' market, Banglalink is now the secondlargest with 11.27 million customers by the end of July2009. The total mobile subscribers are 47.97 million inthe country.
Although the company has established a strong footholdin the market after its inception in 2005, it is yet to breakeven.
