The purpose of this research is to analyse the influence of consumers’ perception of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) practices on a brand’s image, satisfaction and trust in Pakistan. While the strategic importance of CSR, as a corporate marketing tool, is fairly established in the developed world, the concept is still finding its ground in developing countries. This study focuses on the consumers of the apparel industry of Pakistan, and has used the Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) to test the model. The findings show that the perceived CSR affects brand image in a positive manner, but has no impact on consumer satisfaction and trust directly. Brand image, however, has a favourable effect on both satisfaction and trust, and completely mediates the relationship between perceived CSR, and satisfaction and trust. This study provides insights to apparel manufacturers to formulate corporate marketing strategies that aim at enhancing their brand image through CSR activities.
