Abstract

The article delves into the significance and intricacies of sustainability, Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), and the Triple Bottom Line (TBL) framework in contemporary business strategies. It begins by exploring the concept of sustainability, emphasizing its three dimensions: environmental, economic, and social. The article then introduces CSR as a business obligation to pursue policies and decisions that align with social goals and values, expanding on the evolution of CSR from its initial focus on financial and legal responsibilities to include ethical and charitable considerations. The TBL framework is a holistic approach that integrates these dimensions to achieve long-term success and sustainability. The article discusses critical perspectives on CSR, highlighting people-based CSR initiatives such as corporate philanthropy and improving the working environment, planet-centered CSR focusing on environmental impacts, and the challenge of balancing CSR and profitability. Real-world examples are provided to illustrate successful implementations of CSR and sustainability practices, demonstrating their positive effects on both businesses and society. The essay concludes that successful companies cannot be separated from the CSR they undertake and should adopt sustainability as a core value.
