The Relationship

This work aims to explore the relationship between Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and financial performance in the energy sector for publicly traded companies. Due to their size, environmental implications, and the operational risks associated with energy production, the energy sector has a unique role to play with worldwide CSR efforts. Earlier research on the relationship between CSR engagement and financial performance has been conducted in various contexts. However, the results of these investigations have been mixed, with some positive CSR-performance relationships, while in other studies, research is either non-existent or marginal. The question of research for this research thus addresses a considerable gap in understanding this topic in the contextualization of the energy sector through an analysis of the relationship between CSR and firm performance. A series of three financial parameters – asset return, equity return, and EBITDA – were the dependent variable. In this study, the population who are presently working in a company of the energy sector in Malaysia examines the sampling methodology. There is a total of 30 listed companies, which were in the "Energy" sector, based on Bursa Malaysia's official websites. For the subsection, two categories are included, namely: (1) Energy, Equipment, and Gas, and (2) Oil & Gas. The random selection will include two companies from each subcategory from the complete list. In detail, 100 respondents from each company will be selected randomly for the study.

The Relationship

Corporate social responsibility (CSR) is one of the main drivers of corporate reputation. Many studies show that CSR can positively affect financial performance (FP) and vice versa. However, the relationship between FP and CSR depends on the type of industry in which the company operates, and there is little research regarding the energy sector in this area. The basis of empirical research in this study is slack resource theory which argues that financial performance is the cause of corporate social performance. This paper aims to analyze if financial performance affects corporate social responsibility adoption in energy sector companies. In order to achieve this goal, the study specifically examines the relationship between selected financial performance indicators and CSR adoption. Analyzing an international sample of 219 companies from thirty-two countries for 2020, we observed the statistically significant relations between financial performance and the implementing of the CSR strategy of the energy industry companies. The Return on Assets measure (ROA) and the Earnings Before Interest and Taxes measure (EBIT) were significantly higher among companies implementing the CSR strategy. The Enterprise Value to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization ratio (EV EBITDA) was lower among companies that adopted CSR. We did not confirm that the Return on Equity measure (ROE), Beta coefficient, and EBITDA per Share correlated with CSR adoption. Our research had implications for firms’ investment policies in social initiatives and highlighted the relation between the financial performance and CSR initiatives of the energy sector companies.

This study investigated the mechanism behind the impact of corporate social responsibility (CSR) on firms’ financial performance while focusing on internal stakeholders. Although many studies have examined the effects of CSR few has empirically investigated the underlying process of the mechanism. In addition, previous research has rarely regarded employees as a link between CSR and firms’ outcomes, despite employees implementing CSR policies. This study explored the pathway of the CSR-employees-firm’s performance. Employee commitment was used to explain the relationship between CSR and performance, since it is an important employee-associated micro-level outcome of CSR. The results showed that CSR indirectly influenced a firm’s accounting profitability through enhanced employee commitment, as well as directly affected firm’s profitability. CSR increases employee commitment, which in turn leads to improvements in a firm’s accounting returns. The paper suggests that employees should be considered as an important agent for the effects of CSR initiatives.
