'CSR' as 'Corporate Social Responsibility' originates from the concept of 'corporate responsibility' in the 20th century, emphasizing the role of businesses in contributing to societal goals.

The term 'CSR' evolved from the broader concept of 'corporate responsibility' and became widely recognized in the late 20th century.

Initially, it meant 'corporate responsibility,' but over time it evolved to include a broader range of social and environmental responsibilities.
