CSR is very much important for any top executive; I believe CSR allows top executives to work on some social problem which may not be a top priority of any business. When this TOP executive spends their time on social problems, it solves quickly also opens new opportunities as well.
Since corp is short for corpse, that's an oxymoron for me. A construct with the sole purpose of profit cannot have true allegiance to anything else.

I learned the hard way how to build my career through various services, domains, and markets; now, I am passionate about guiding young engineering and management students to the right career. Given that technology changes every three to five years, as does the geopolitical and business environment, I assist them in determining what skills they need to keep up with these changes and become self-sufficient. As part of my corporate social responsibility (CSR), I provide guidance through webinars. I'm also working on a book about how to differentiate your career, because careers require careful planning to grow sustainably. The competition is becoming increasingly fierce, so there is a real need to differentiate yourself.
