This paper makes a politico-sociological attempt to analyze the real factors that drive the apparently philanthropic notion of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) or corporate citizenship towards policy-level implementation and praxes. The author proposes that CSR as a corporate strategy is fundamentally a dynamic policy mechanism that facilitates better business profits by projecting to broad-base social profits accruing to the vulnerable communities being disproportionately affected by the processes of mass-scale industrial production.
