NUML CSR Society

The ‘Department of Management Sciences’ created “NUML CSR Society” to work for the
society through collective efforts of students and faculty members. They have been doing
various projects for the community by involving volunteers. The concept of corporate social
responsibility (CSR) holds that organizations should examine how their actions may affect
the environment and society. It is strongly related to sustainability because it generates
benefits for the economy, society, and environment.
