The most suitable approach for an organization with limited resources to spend on corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives is to select initiatives that support the overall strategic goals of the organization. Aligning CSR initiatives with the organization's strategic goals ensures that resources are used effectively and contribute to long-term value creation. This approach helps in enhancing the organization's reputation, stakeholder engagement, and competitive advantage by focusing on areas where the organization can make the most significant impact in alignment with its mission and values.
