Due to competitive environment and public pressures, business community are giving more importance to corporate social responsibility, where organisations are required to act more responsibly and show their commitment towards environmental, social and financial sustainability.

This paper introduces a conceptualization of corporate social responsibility, potential contribution towards society, practices of CSR in the industry from the environmental and social perspectives, and to explore the extent of social commitment in the establishment of CSR programmes.
