Corporate Governance and Corporate Social Responsibility: A Nexus Analysis

Abstract: Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and Corporate Governance (CG) have grown in importance in the business sector.

Also, CG is the evaluation of corporate governance using the triple bottom line idea. While CG focuses on assuring accountability, fairness, and openness in a company's operations, CSR emphasizes ethical business practices that contribute to social and environmental well-being.
