Abstract:

Corporate governance and corporate social responsibility (CSR) are two critical elements of modern business practices that have gained significant attention in recent years. The relationship between these two concepts has become increasingly important as organizations face growing pressure from stakeholders to not only perform economically but also to act in a socially responsible manner. The purpose of this research topic is to explore the good practices and prospects of corporate governance and CSR. The study examined the various approaches and methods used by organizations to ensure effective corporate governance and implement meaningful CSR programs. It also considered the challenges faced by organizations in balancing these two objectives and the role of stakeholders in promoting responsible corporate behavior. The findings of this research provide valuable insights into the current state of corporate governance and CSR and offer recommendations for future improvements and developments in these areas.
