This research paper will show an example of an open system in the continuous flowchart shown below. Q1) Corporate social responsibility, CSR, refers to an organization's sense of obligation and responsibility towards its various stakeholders and the environment in which the organization operates. It is considered multidimensional as its initiatives vary from voluntary partnerships to mitigate environmental impacts, production methods through the practice of sustainable business practices such as reducing waste and pollution and promoting engagement stakeholders through the conduct of social and educational programs (Turker, Duygu. 2009). . It can also be used as a strategy to create brand reputation and recognition. As a rapidly developing organization, BreadTalk has been active in conducting CSR programs. In 2008, BreadTalk introduced the use of biodegradable and environmentally friendly packaging for all of its products, promoting sustainability practices. BreadTalk also played a role in relief efforts following the Sichuan earthquake on May 12, 2008. They created the "Peace Panda" bun to be sold in their stores.
