contents <p>In the rapidly evolving global economy of 2026, corporate resilience has shifted from a mere operational necessity to a strategic priority. This paper explores the critical role of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and Business Ethics as foundational pillars for organisational durability during periods of economic and social volatility. While traditional risk management focuses on financial and operational buffers, this research argues that ethical business practices and proactive CSR initiatives create "social capital" that acts as a stabiliser during crises. The study employs a multidimensional approach to analyse how integrating ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) criteria into core business strategies enhances stakeholder trust and employee commitment, thereby reducing turnover and maintaining brand loyalty in uncertain markets. By examining contemporary case studies, the paper demonstrates that organisations with robust ethical frameworks are better equipped to navigate regulatory changes and consumer shifts. The findings suggest that CSR should not be viewed as an elective expense but as a long-term investment in strategic resilience. The paper concludes with a set of recommendations for business leaders to align ethical values with sustainable growth models to ensure survival and competitiveness in the modern landscape.</p>
