The study provides the level of corporate social responsibility disclosure of the Indian banking sector. Corporate citizenship is the business strategy that shapes the values underpinning a company’s mission and the choices made each day by its executives, managers and employees as they engage with society. The bank in the society plays not an important role in any country but also behave a good citizen. Within this framework we investigated 38 banks listed on the Mumbai Stock Exchange and considered only annual report for the year 2002-03. The result shows that Indian banks are disclosing considerable amount of social information in the annual reports. The study also reveals that almost 90per cent of sample banks disclose human resource development, staff training and social/community services information. The study at least has given a scenario of the position of corporate social responsibility in Indian and especially in banking sector which is practicing as a voluntarily and acted as corporate citizen. However, more in-depth study is needed to the financial sector in the developing countries in order to understand the status of the corporate social responsibility in the world as a whole

This study sought to ascertain the link between Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) rating and the profitability of companies listed on the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE), following the release of the first ever country rating of Corporate Citizenship Index (3C-Index) in 2013. The study further sought to ascertain whether significant differences exist between the performances of companies that received high CSR ratings as compared to those that received low ratings. Secondary data were extracted from the 2013 to 2017 annual reports and accounts of companies that got different CSR ratings classified as high and low. The multiple regression and Mann-Whitney rank test (U-test) were used to test the propositions. The findings from the regression showed a positive but insignificant relationship between CSR rating and firm performance but a significantly positive relationship with the size of firms. The results of the U-tests were mixed, whereas the Return on Assets (ROA) of companies with high CSR ratings did not differ significantly from companies with low CSR ratings, the Return on Equity (ROE) of companies with high CSR ratings was significantly greater than that of companies with low CSR ratings. This finding suggests that CSR may be in its infancy among the study sample but is beginning to take roots as evident by the positive βs statistics and a significant difference in the ROE of the companies as captured by the non-parametric statistics. It is recommended that the period of the study be extended in the intermediate and long-run to determine if the relationship might become significant.

Recently, scholars and managers have devoted greater attention to corporate social responsibility (CSR) and its strategic implications. With more awareness surrounding the topic it would be expected for there to be a consensus on a definition, but as of yet none has been reached. The lack of a universally accepted definition has led some to define it as a term, a concept, a process, a theory, while others simply call it an activity or set of activities (Hazlett & Murray, 2007). CSR has been also captioned under many names. Terms such as corporate citizenship, global citizenship, corporate social responsiveness, strategic philanthropy, and even spiritual capitalism are sometimes used interchangeably, depending on the organization to use it. Often, these numerous monikers and interpretations lead to confusion amongst those intending to study or implement the practice into their business strategy. This uncertainty on how CSR should be defined has led some academics and practitioners to believe that the concept is void of any definition. Contrary to this belief, others find that there is an overabundance of definitions; many of which are “often biased toward specific interests and thus prevent the development and implementation of the concept” (Dahlsrud, 2008). Our study focuses on the importance of CSR and why it’s becoming so prevalent in any organizations. By studying the history of CSR, its many definitions, as well as its implementation methods, we attempt to suggest strategic alternatives for an effective corporate social responsibility.

Purpose – Under growing public scrutiny of their behaviour, the vast majority of multinational enterprises (MNEs) have been undertaking significant investments through corporate social responsibility (CSR) in order to close legitimacy gaps. The purpose of this paper is to provide a descriptive account of the nature and scope of MNEs’ CSR programmes that have sport at their core. More specifically, the present study addresses the following questions. First, how do Financial Times Stock Exchange (FTSE) 100 firms utilise sport as part of their CSR agendas? Second, how do different industries have different approaches to CSR through sport? And third, can the types of CSR through sport be classified? Design/methodology/approach – Centred on legitimacy theory and exploratory in nature, the study employed a content analysis method, and examined three types of document from each of the FTSE100 firms, namely, annual reports, annual reviews and CSR reports over the ten-year period from 2003 to 2012. In total, 1,473 documents were content analysed, thereby offering a sound representation of CSR disclosure of the FTSE100. Findings – From the analysis, three main streams emerged: “Philanthropy”, “Sponsorships” and “Personnel engagement” with the first showing the smallest growth compared with the other main streams. Findings show the general rise in CSR through sport, thereby demonstrating that the corporate world has practically acknowledged that the sporting context is a powerful vehicle for the employment of CSR. Originality/value – Previous empirical studies have sought to investigate CSR through sport, yet they have generally suffered from sampling limitations which have, in turn, rendered the drawing of reliable conclusions problematic. Particularly, the lack of an explicit focus on longitudinality is a typical limitation, meaning that no conclusions can be made regarding the trend. The study outlined in this paper offers the most comprehensive longitudinal study of CSR through sport to date, and thus contributes to the increasing volume of literature that examines the application of CSR in relation to the sport sector.
