Corporate social responsibility (CSR) is a form of corporate self-regulation integrated into a business model. CSR policy functions as a built-in, self-regulating mechanism whereby a business monitors and ensures its active compliance with the spirit of the law, ethical standards, and international norms.
CSR is a process with the aim to embrace responsibility for the company 's actions and encourage a positive impact through its activities on the environment, consumers, employees, communities and stakeholders. The aim of this project is to determine how a company complies with the needs of the community as a whole through its financial statements and annual report.

The company believed that sustainability forms one of their core values and is integral to the way they run their entire organisation. It has been integral to their growth from Day 1 and will continue to guide them as they continue along their journey from an Asean to an Asian airline.
Our research group consists of 6 members and the research we will conduct is based on the Annual Report of Air Asia 2012. We are going to find out how Air Asia Berhad demonstrates high standards of corporate social responsibility towards the community.
