Publisher's Synopsis
The value of social responsibility, either individually or collectively, has been recognized throughout history, and more structured programs for endowments and zakat were introduced by Islam in the 7th century. Major organizations throughout the world now realize that corporate social responsibility (CSR) is an important part of a company's operations, because of its positive impact on society, which in turn impacts positively on staff members and the general public.
The scope of this book is to briefly outline some of the major aspects of Islam which give consideration for businesses and their push towards Corporate Social Responsibility. It considers the belief system of Islam and how this belief has a significant underpinning of social behavior.
