The public should perceive the company as their savior and not their enemy. CSR helps a company stay in the good books of the public. If a cigarette manufacturing company opens a profit free farm or a recreational park for the public, it will ensure the maintenance of a positive image.
Morally, when a company takes something from the public e.g their clean air, or clean environment, then morally the company is bound to give something in return e.g a water filtration plant.
CSR can lead the public to support the company during times of need. A company during tough times might get several volunteers if it is known to have given much to the public.
Co-dependence is essential for the survival of both the organization and the public. Companies excel if the public likes them. If a company has been known to have only take and never give, then the balance is disturbed.
Against:
Not every company has the resources or interest to focus on one problem. Therefore, ambiguous policies of different organizations lead to partial working on one social issue or environmental issue. it leads the problem to be partially solved and not completely eliminated.
Company might morally owe the public in some domain but might not have the resources to fix that particular problem. It may leave the company in a moral debt. In order to compensate, a company may go beyond its capabilities which will not result in mutual benefit. Only one party will be happy.
CSR activities require resources. A company has several stakeholders and all might nit agree to spending/donating their profits for CSR activities. This may sound 'selfish' but public doesn't always know what the stakeholders are going through. CSR in such a case may deprive a stakeholder from a fraction of his share of profit.
