Introducing the Center: 

CSR-DC is a non-governmental, non-commercial organization that promotes Corporate Social Responsibility in Iran. The Center is the first Iranian member of UN Global Compact.  

In recent years, CSR has been identified as a key concept in managing corporations. As Iran’s market becomes more competitive and the economy moves towards transacting with global markets, the significance of the CSR concept will become more evident. Furthermore, by taking into account the efforts exerted by the Iranian government such as customer rights, anti-monopoly, anti -economical corruption and  corporation jurisdiction legislation as well as drafting CSR standards and the competition between corporation to secure the EFQM award, the necessity of seriously considering this concept is brought into attention.
