The Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is a prerequisite for business growth, through innovation and business opportunities providing, in order to make the difference between companies, in the high competitive environment. In our view, the CSR must be integrated and developed inside the company strategy, as its basic set of moral values and principles that reflect the company goals. In this scientific approach, we have explained the concept of Social Responsibility both in terms of theory and as an analysis support for practical issues, in some eastern Romanian companies. The paper is oriented for achieving two main goals: to determine the main Social Responsibility actions made by the companies and to demonstrate the importance of their implementation; to explore the impact of the CSR activities on an expected advantageous position of these companies on their markets. Considered as a direct beneficiary of the community where it belongs, the company returns a part of its success to the community through its active participation in the critical general problems. A company that does not respect the environment, the community, its employees or the ethical principles, will lose credibility and will move away customers and suppliers.

The phenomenon of environmental multicrisis occurring today has created a new paradigm of Green Accounting. The concept of Green Accounting directs corporations to make business decisions at an advantage that not only leads to profit orientation but also to the environment and society around the company. Of course, the domino effect of these concerns and considerations is that corporate sacrifices in the form of assets / assets may even be more than that. The role of corporations in supporting Green Accounting is the implementation of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). CSR is the moral responsibility of a company to its social, economic, and environmental strategies because of the impact of its operations so that it is expected to contribute benefits to society and the environment. If it is related to Green Accounting, then this will be the right concept to support the 2030 SDGs program.

The friction between economic interests and environmental interests has become a serious problem today. The friction between the two interests is evident in the activities of a company, therefore a company is given responsibility for the impact caused by its activities. This responsibility is “corporate social and environmental responsibility”. However, the term "Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)" is often used in Indonesian society. The use of this term has a legal consequence, namely that the company's responsibility is only social responsibility, while environmental responsibility does not exist. Departing from these problems, this study will focus on discussing problems regarding the “Corporate Environmental Responsibility (CER)” policy model in Indonesia, particularly regarding the CER policy model, and the types of CER policies. This research is a normative juridical research with a statutory approach and a conceptual approach. The data used is secondary data in the form of laws and regulations and news about company and / or government programs in the field of environmental management. Based on the research results, it is known that the CER policy model clarifies and reinforces the regulation of corporate responsibility towards environmental aspects, CER policies can come from corporate initiatives or come from government initiatives.

Currently, the image of a company, its corporate identity and culture have become of fundamental importance. Involvement in the community is necessary for a company that wants to ensure not only commercial success but also the respect in which society operates. Donations, sponsorship and corporate social responsibility are forms that companies can interact with the community in which it operates. The difference between a company's social responsibility and philanthropy is that the former involves the development of a strategy for community involvement and partnerships in which the company has in turn gain, while in the case of philanthropy, NGO strategy is oriented towards solving the problems of beneficiaries. Corporate Social Responsibility is a concept increasingly more present in Romanian business society. Obviously, the main driver in this process have established multinationals that have done a transfer of organizational culture locally. Like almost every important concept, undergo accelerated assimilation needs, has become more like a fashion initially, than as a result of full awareness of the needs. As expected in an economic and social framework rather immature and unstable social responsibility in Romania was valued more for its commercial valences than the ethical. In a market that was becoming increasingly competitive, players quickly discovered the potential of this dimension in the construction process of the image and reputation building, as the prerequisite for commercial success in the short and medium term (Hawkins, 2006). I want to emphasize from the outset that, the complexity of processes and phenomena referred to, the impact they have on the living standards and health of the population, Sectoral Strategies for Sustainable Development, which will be launched today, concern equally to state authorities at central and local level, and each of Romanian citizens. Therefore, it is natural to train as many social partners in public debates on sectoral strategies launched during the session, so that they integrate with society's expectations Romanian, medium and long term, says President Ion Iliescu in opening allocution of First Session on Strategy of Sustainable Development of Romania “Horizon 2025” (Ion Iliescu, 2004).

Previous studies highlight the relationship between Corporate Governance and Corporate Social Responsibility. Good corporate governance has been found significantly influence the level of a company social responsibility whether in conventional or Islamic companies context. Most of the studies focus of the studies focus on conventional banks or Islamic banks belong to government or private actors. However, limites or even none of the studies has tried to compare the impact of corporate governance on social responsibility between government and private owned sharia banks. Through quantitative method, we studied the differences between government and private owned sharia banks using six sharia banks samples. The sample was purposively selected from Indonesian Bank website. Our data analysis shows that all three variables; independent commissioners, boards of directors, and sharia supervisory boards are significantly impact the companies’ corporate social responsibility practices. Eventhough, the difference between government and private owned sharia banks in social responsibilty practices is not significant, the result shows that the level compliance of government sharia banks towards social responsibiity is higher than private sharia banks. This might prove that government sharia banks might more commit to social welfare than private sharia banks. Future reseach with more samples and variables might be required to make the finding more valid.

Maximizing profits has always been the goal and principle pursued in a company’s development. Based on this so-called business principle, companies often blindly pursue economic interests, leaving behind environmental protection and even labor rights and consumer interests, which cause many negative externalities. With the continuous development of the society and the economy, the society no longer evaluates the corporate performance of a company based on its financial performance alone. The society now expects a company not only to improve its financial performance, but also fulfill its social responsibility obligations. However, a large number of companies in China do not put their social responsibility in place. The expenditures on environmental governance, the rights of employees and small/medium investors, along with the intensity of public charity donations, are still unqualified. While the society strongly encourages companies to fulfill their social responsibility, some other parties believe that fulfilling corporate social responsibility increases the cost of a company, which consequently has a negative impact on the financial performance of the company. As a result, whether there is a need for companies to fulfill social responsibility, whether the economic benefits and corporate social responsibility are mutually antagonistic, and how companies should balance their own operations, management and fulfillment of social responsibility, need to be further studied.As an important part of the H-industry, the sports industry has a positive effect on optimizing the industrial structure, expanding domestic demand, and promoting employment. It has developed into a new long-term point in promoting urban economic development. However, at present, there has been little research on the capital management of listed companies in the sports industry. Therefore, based on the Chinese market environment, this paper listed investigates companies in the sports industry. It attempts to find out how the implementation of corporate social responsibility in the Chinese sports industry impacts the corporate performance. This paper uses panel data of 16 listed companies in the sports industry between 2009 and 2016, and rules out the possibility of spurious regression through a series of preliminary tests. Panel correction error model, asymptotic fixed effect model, super-efficiency DEA-Tobit model and threshold panel model are utilized to analyze the influence of fulfilling corporate social responsibility (CSR) on the corporate performance of listed companies in the sports industry in China.

Purpose This paper aims to examine corporate social responsibility (CSR) and corporate bankruptcy. Specifically, the authors ask the following research questions: Does CSR play a role in determining the likelihood of bankruptcy? Does CSR explain the difference in the probability of that firm eventually reorganizing and emerging from bankruptcy? Design/methodology/approach The authors address these questions by testing three CSR theories using a sample of 78 firms that filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy during the period 2007 to 2014 along with a matched sample of firms that did not. Findings Overall, the findings indicate that stronger CSR firms are less likely to become bankrupt relative to weaker CSR firms, all else being equal. This result is in line with the stakeholder theory of CSR. However, results do not support the conjecture that CSR matters when it comes to bankruptcy emergence. While CSR seems to influence whether a company experiences bankruptcy in the first place, having strong CSR does not seem to help a firm once it has filed for Chapter 11. Research limitations/implications This paper extends the existing CSR literature but looks at CSR not from the angel of financial “success” but rather from financial “failure”. Practical implications The results could potentially help academics and practitioners alike in seeking understanding and reason behind CSR involvement and bankruptcy avoidance and success. Originality/value This is the first paper to test whether CSR plays a role in bankruptcy. The authors use a recent sample of firms with CSR scores that experienced a bankruptcy and a matched sample of CSR-scored firms that did not experience bankruptcy.
