An article published on the 22nd May 2019 and posted online at : https://www.politicalanalysis.co.za/corporate-social-responsibility-vs-corporate-social-investment/

provides us with a precise and interesting comparison between CSI and CSR. Often misunderstood and misrepresented, the article gives clarity and definition.

In these challenging times where selflessness and empathy need to be at the forefront of social consciousness, maybe we should encourage a new way of thinking - Socially Responsible Giving by Business (SRGB)
