Four Types of Corporate Social Responsibility: As large companies begin to dominate the world economy, issues of importance of corporate social responsibility in companies arise. Corporate social responsibility of various kinds has emerged in the open discussion, but understanding its meaning is important. According to a survey by Pricewaterhouse Coopers, according to respondents in the United States, the first problem in the future is reduction of carbon emissions. Specific environmental issues that affect the enterprise include global warming, sustainable resources, and pollution. Environment organizations and governments seek companies to reduce carbon footprints, obtain materials from sustainable resources, and reduce pollution

The term "corporate social responsibility" comes from H. Bowen, written in 1953 as "Corporate Social Responsibility to Merchants". Corporate social responsibility (CSR) is used to explain the integration of social and environmental issues into decision making, goals, and operations. Other terms used in the context of corporate social responsibility include: corporate social responsibility, sustainability, corporate citizenship, ethical business practices, social / environmental responsibility, triple Bottom Line, and Environmental Social Management

Dispute over corporate social responsibility: Corporate social responsibility (CSR) began in 19537 and published Bowen's book "Social Responsibilities of Merchants" (Carrol, 1999). Some people thought that the focus at the time was not the company itself, but social conscience of businessmen. Some people think companies will not bear social responsibilities besides companies that have agreed with the government at company establishment.
