It is also increasingly being used as a measure of their overall performance. Social responsibility means that individuals and companies have a duty to act in the best interests of their environments and society as a whole. Social responsibility as it applies to business is known as corporate social responsibility (CSR). Many companies, such as those with "green" policies, have made social responsibility an integral part of their business models.
