Though the idea of corporate social responsibility has been developing over the years, there is no single but all encompassing meaning that has been determined. The company's CSR policies play a major role to the stakeholders of the company, worker and the trade union. It is assumed that the content of a corporate CSR program is everything that a company contributes towards the welfare of the workers and the effects of it on the society. If a warehouse store of a renowned chain opens a branch near a residential area, it will automatically make the lives of that community more convenient. The proximity also saves consumers time and commutation charges. Building, maintaining and expanding a business are the factors that leave a great impact on the society and the environment. This is the reason why many of the corporate entities engage in not only profit making practices but also to be socially responsible policies. Enterprises provide many benefits to the society at large for various reason, for instance to improve the living standards of the people, to make the economy that they are part of to a healthier and stronger one and to work upon impacting the environment to a great extend. This is one way to evaluate that the business is sustainable. Corporate social responsibility is one of the ways to achieve these goals. In this the most basic definition of CSR is a business entity's part to the development of the society. As per the International Institute for Sustainable Development, the key points that CSR News in India addresses are ‘environmental protection and the wellbeing of the employees, the community and the civil society in general, both now and in the future.'

When a business entity takes it upon itself to commit to some of the responsible investment, it is very efficiently reaches the stakeholders, that are – investors, employees, supplies, creditors, trade unions, community members, consumers, the government agencies, concerned non-governmental organization and the community members of social sphere, that it realize the importance of social development and that can be added on to be the part of the solution to make the right thing and make ethical decisions.

Society at large gets advantages to a large amount with different CSR news in India and the efforts by being satisfied about the product's safety and quality, having the access to corporate-sponsored community education, hospital amenities, employment, housing and anti-poverty programs, charity programs, basic amenities and many more being the beneficiaries of the employee volunteer to reach various programs and activities, and receiving charitable contributions. Every business works two ways. These little contributions make a lot of difference in the society as many people benefit from such policies, hence society at large.
