Abstract

Corporate social responsibility (CSR) is a management philosophy that aims to reconcile economic, social, and environmental interests. It is often perceived as a constraint or an additional cost for businesses, but it can actually be a source of added value. Businesses that adopt a CSR approach can contribute significantly to the sustainable development of society. They can, in particular: reduce their environmental impact by adopting sustainable practices, such as recycling, reuse, and waste reduction, support local communities by funding social projects or creating jobs and promote equality of opportunity by promoting diversity and inclusion in their workforces. This study has shown that CSR can be a lever for economic and social performance for Algerian companies. It can help to improve the competitiveness of companies, strengthen their attractiveness, and contribute to the sustainable development of the country
