The Scenario Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is often heralded as a company's soul, but it is frequently treated as a vehicle for brand elevation. This free publicity CSR cartoon highlights the darker side of performative acts—where initiatives are designed more for the annual report and "feel-good headlines" than for the community they claim to serve.
The Observation The satire targets the "tick-box" mentality of enhanced brand image. It critiques organizations that use noble causes as a strategic mask, prioritizing the appearance of being "purpose-driven" while avoiding the systemic changes required for genuine, long-term impact.
