Introduction
Corporate social responsibility (CSR) has gained significant attention in recent years as businesses are increasingly expected to consider the social and environmental impacts of their operations. In response to growing concerns about unethical business practices, many countries have implemented CSR laws to regulate corporate behavior and promote ethical business practices. This thesis aims to explore the impact of CSR laws on business ethics, specifically focusing on how these laws influence corporate behavior and decision-making.
