Corporate social responsibility
"Creemos firmemente en el ejercicio de la responsabilidad social corporativa (RSC) como ***contribución cualificada*** al bienestar público."
This comes from a company website in Spain. I have found a couple of references via Google, both in a Catholic context, but nothing that throws any light on what it means.

I think it's clear that the company is saying in this extract how it views CSR. I think the people who answered didn't have a problem, and I don't agree that the answers vary much. They seem to me to be in the same line.
You might have to ask your client for clarification here.
