This document discusses the differences between business ethics and corporate social responsibility (CSR). Business ethics deals with moral principles that guide decision making and behavior within organizations. CSR focuses on a corporation's responsibilities and obligations to external stakeholders in society. While business ethics covers all ethics issues throughout a company's functions, CSR specifically concerns corporate responsibility to the community. The document provides examples of the Tata Group and Ultratech Cement carrying out CSR projects in India like community programs, women's empowerment, education, and environmental conservation.

3. Social responsibility, on the other hand, often enters into the
domain of business as the topic "corporate social
responsibility" or simply CSR. As such, it is more focused on
the corporation (or organization) and its obligations and
behavior to other stakeholders in the larger social system.

5. MEANING OF BUSINESS ETHICS
Ethics is a branch of social science. It deals with moral
principles and social values. It helps us to classify, what
is good and what is bad? It tells us to do good things
and avoid doing bad things. In business, principles of
conduct within organizations that guide decision making
and behavior

6.  Social responsibility can be defined as the
concept that states that businesses have a
duty to use their power for the greater good. In
other words, by regularly making money off
their respective communities, companies have
an obligation to pay it back by somehow
helping the people who make up those
communities.

7. Applicability: As per Section 135 of the Act and rules
issued there under, CSR norms are applicable on
companies which has (a) net worth of Rs 500 Crore or
more; (b) turnover of Rs 1000 Crore or more; or (c) net
profit of Rs 5 Crore or more.
Compliance: The companies, crossing the prescribed
threshold, are required to spend at least 2% of their
average net profit for the immediately preceding 3
financial years on CSR activities.

9.  Business ethics covers all
ethics-related issues
including supply-chain
process, marketing and
financing in all areas of
functionally business.
 In fact, corporations have
responsibilities to a variety
of stakeholders including
employees, customers, local
communities, and the
environment.
 Business ethics carves out
somewhat different territory
having to do with issues like
honesty, rights, equity and
the exercise of corporate
power.
 However, CSR is unique for
corporate responsibility,
which is responsibility to
society.
 Conversely, CSR is more
focus on society actually.
 CSR is a more narrow
construct than business
ethics, touching less on
questions of individual
conduct and its personal
motivations and intentions
