World Business Council for Sustainable Development
WBCSD is a global, CEO-led organization made up of over 200 businesses that work together to accelerate the transition to a sustainable world. WBCSD seeks to make sustainable businesses more successful so that more companies realize that sustainability is profitable.
Corporate Social Responsibility
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) refers to a company's continued commitment to practice social and environmental sustainability. CSR implies the obligation to society and future generations beyond those that are regulated by the government. Some companies will invest in CSR for the purpose of reputation management, sustain profitability, and/or a feeling of moral obligation. CSR is a form of self regulation that uses companies reports to qualify their efforts to create a positive impact on its employees, consumers, the environment and wider community.

The difference between ESG and CSR is that ESG is considered to be a more integrated strategic approach where the company is looking at the Environmental, Social and Governance risks in the mission of the company and how to mitigate them. ESG also has a more precise assessment by demanding metrics of how corporations are responding to climate change, treating their workers, fostering innovation and managing their supply chains.
