In the Ages/Stages of CSR, which stage focuses on charitable acts?

Age of Greed
Age of Philanthropy
Age of Marketing
Age of Management

The correct answer is: Age of Philanthropy

The stage that focuses on charitable acts is known as the Age of Philanthropy. This era is characterized by organizations recognizing the importance of giving back to the community and engaging in social causes. During this stage, companies often establish foundations and engage in charitable donations to support various initiatives, such as education, health care, and environmental sustainability. They view these activities as a way to demonstrate their commitment to society and to foster goodwill among their stakeholders. In contrast, the other stages have different focal points. The Age of Greed is often marked by profit maximization without much regard for social impacts, while the Age of Marketing emphasizes the branding and marketing aspects of CSR, where companies use social responsibility to enhance their image. The Age of Management relates to the integration of CSR into business strategy and operations, focusing on systematic approaches rather than just charitable efforts.
