History of CSR in Mauritius
CSR across the modern world traces its origin back to governmental regulation shaping personnel and environmental issues back in the 1970s. In those times, CSR activities were mostly restricted to compliance with prevailing laws and regulations. Since then, CSR became implanted into an organizational culture, strategy and operations across frontiers.
CSR initiatives go quite a long way back in Corporate Mauritius as well, up to 20 years back. CSR got into Mauritian enterprises for various reasons. However, some organizations integrate CSR just to enhance their image vis-à-vis (i) the internal community and (ii) the external community. Multinationals engaged in CSR not only to enhance their image but also because they have to abide by their global policy.
There is, thus, vast evidence that private sector firms across Mauritius are aware that they have to balance, if not reconcile, their obligations to shareholders with explicit contributions to the external community.
