To anyone unfamiliar with the tea ceremony, I know what you're thinking.

The "S" in CSR represents "social" and refers to the social impact of business decisions and practices with respect to four primary stakeholders: the employees of an organization, the community from where business is conducted, the environment and the supply chain. The outcomes of these decisions contribute to the social and cultural environment of today's citizen consumers affecting the quality of their efforts in laying the foundation for the next generation.
