This work examines Internal Corporate Social Responsibility (Internal CSR) as a core element of ethical and sustainable organizational management. Unlike external CSR, which focuses on society and the environment, internal CSR centers on employees as key stakeholders. It encompasses fair labor practices, employee well-being, occupational health and safety, diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI), work-life balance, training and development, ethical leadership, and employee participation.Drawing on stakeholder theory, social exchange theory, human capital theory, and psychological contract theory, the book explains how responsible internal practices strengthen trust, commitment, productivity, and organizational resilience. It highlights empirical evidence linking internal CSR to higher job satisfaction, lower turnover, innovation, and improved organizational performance.The study also addresses measurement tools, global standards, and implementation challenges, emphasizing that internal CSR is not merely a compliance requirement but a strategic investment.
