Introduction:
We may find many protests going on in the world like in America black lives matter, India Me too moment and in Australia save the environment like many things going on in the world. When these things happen, they impact the region or country and change the corporate world. In those situations, how corporate enterprises respond to such activities as corporate social responsibility will make a substantial positive impact in society about the company.
We will discuss corporate social responsibility, which startups follow to impact society and build a relationship with the community.
Starting of Corporate Social Responsibility:
It is the primary duty of any company registered under companies’ act that they have to provide some basic responsible things towards the society & environment. Most of the startup companies don’t have much money to spend on giving to society. Still, many company employees are giving their part of income towards the encouragement of society development. For example, in Hyderabad, India, many startups pool money and provide some essential assets to government schools and colleges. If we go into detail about the company initiatives, we can see them below.

Companies have a good reputation in their regional market, and they are termed as the best-trusted companies. People show more interest in those companies for their act of work towards society. All limited liability and LLP, and C-corporation companies are eligible for B corps certification but not startup companies.

While there is a difference between a nonprofit organization and a benefits organization, they look similar, but there is a lot of difference between them. Any company the act of their work will result in society’s benefit not the purpose of money; those companies are termed as nonprofit organizations, and the points which we have discussed in the above are the same. A hallmark of many nonprofit organization is tax-exempt or redemption status. The IRS confers it under Section 501(c) (3) of the Internal Revenue Code of India or their country status only certain corporations, unincorporated associations, and trusts are entitled to tax-exempt grade. Sole proprietorships and partnerships are unqualified.
