The document compares and contrasts corporate social responsibility (CSR) and corporate sustainability. CSR focuses on short-term commitments to improve community welfare, while sustainability means adopting long-term strategies to meet stakeholder needs without depleting resources faster than they can be renewed. Examples provided include Bullfrog Power as exemplifying sustainability through green energy solutions, while the city of Ottawa faced criticism over a sewage spill, and Firestone was accused of prioritizing profits over community health from chemical dumping.
