Which of the following is NOT a CRS responsibility?

• A. Economic
• B. Legal
• C. Environmental
• D. Ethical

Answer: (C)

CSR is often described as four responsibilities: economic, legal, ethical, and philanthropic. Businesses aim to be economically viable, comply with laws, act ethically beyond legal requirements, and contribute to society through philanthropy. Environmental concerns matter a lot, but in this classic framework they’re not listed as a separate pillar; they’re typically folded into ethical practices or broader sustainability efforts rather than treated as its own responsibility. That’s why environmental isn’t considered one of the core CSR responsibilities in this model—the other three are the standard pillars, and philanthropy accounts for charitable activity rather than environmental duties as a standalone category.
