Gender and Corporate Social Responsibility – As a matter of sustainability

Gender studies and its laws

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is relevant to the continuing vow of a company to behave fairly and accountably towards the society within which it functions while contributing to economic competitiveness and development. Currently CSR is considered as a valuable tool to create gender equality in the workplace. Equality and diversity in the workplace are the main objectives of CSR. The organizations are progressively approaching the gender equality plan and including it in their CSR schedules, because of lack of skilled staff and an increase in the involvement of women in the workplace. The addition of gender aspect in CSR, it can play a vital role in attaining gender equality in the workplace by activities, initiatives, approaches and policies that give equal access to job opportunities to female staff and provide for equality of the treatment of women in the workplace. Despite of the current legal provisions women are repeatedly deprived of their fundamental rights, given a job of low wages and are stopped from the decision making process in the economy. Women have gone through discrimination both at home and at the society. Correct CSR policy and gender equality in the workplace, organizations can portray a better society and brand icon and will flourish in designing a stable workforce that can aim on and invest in excellent performance sets of the employees.
