CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY ACROSS INDUSTRIES: IMPACTS ON SOCIAL WELL-BEING AND SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT

Abstract

This study investigates the role of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) practices in advancing social well-being and sustainable development across key industries, including manufacturing, technology, healthcare, and finance. Through a comprehensive analysis of CSR reports, industry data, and company disclosures, the research examines the diversity of CSR initiatives, their alignment with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and their effectiveness in achieving social and environmental impact. The findings reveal that organizations are increasingly integrating CSR into their core strategies, with growing emphasis on social welfare, environmental stewardship, and ethical business practices. The study underscores the strategic importance of CSR in enhancing brand reputation, fostering stakeholder trust, and driving measurable progress toward social and sustainable objectives. Ultimately, the results highlight the necessity for businesses to embed CSR deeply within their operations to achieve lasting, positive outcomes for both society and the environment.
