Dewasa ini, konsep CSR berkaitan erat dengan keberlangsungan perusahaan. Menurut konsep CSR, sebuah perusahaan dalam melaksanakan aktivitas dan pengambilan keputusan tidak hanya berdasarkan faktor keuangan dan keuntungan semata melainkan juga berdasarkan konsekuensi sosial dan lingkungan untuk saat ini maupun masa yang akan datang. Secara teori, CSR dapat dimanfaatkan untuk memaksimalkan nilai pemegang saham, strategi untuk mencapai keunggulan kompetitif dalam jangka panjang, serta sebagai media pemasaran. Selain itu juga dapat mengurangi biaya penyesuaian yang dikeluarkan apabila perusahaan dinilai merugikan masyarakat maupun lingkungan ketika beroperasi. Sebagai salah satu bentuk aktivitas perusahaan, maka setiap kegiatan CSR perlu diungkapkan kepada pemegang saham. Penelitian ini akan membahas tentang bagaimana pengungkapan CSR dapat mempengaruhi financial performance khususnya ROA perusahaan-perusahaan yang berasal dari industri yang bertumbuh tinggi saat ini, yakni industri telekomunikasi, dengan periode penelitian pada tahun 2010 hingga 2013. Penelitian ini menggunakan teknik analisis regresi data panel terhadap lima perusahaan telekomunikasi dengan CSR Disclosure sebagai variabel independen, Return on Assets sebagai variabel dependen dan dua variabel kontrol yakni Leverage dan Company Size. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian, ditemukan bahwa tidak terdapat pengaruh signifikan dari CSR Disclosure terhadap Return on Assets. Di sisi lain, hanya variabel kontrol Company Size yang memiliki pengaruh positif dan signifikan terhadap Return on Assets.

Purpose – to research the effect of the corporate social responsibility (CSR) on the corporate financial performance (CFP) of quoted banks in Nigeria. Design/Method/Research approach. Using data of corporate social responsibility expenditure as a proxy for CSR and the trio of return on assets (ROA), return on equity (ROE), and bank earnings per share (EPS) as a proxy for CFP, regression analysis was conducted. ROA, ROE, and EPS data were collected from the banks’ financial statements for the period 2012 – 2016. Findings. In particular, our analysis and findings suggest that CSR expenditure had no significant effect on all the three proxies of CFP of quoted banks in Nigeria. It supports the arguments in the literature that financial performance alone does not justify expenditure on CSR activities by the quoted Nigerian banks. Practical implications. Our results show that there is a need for banks to consider other factors to see if the case for CSR activities exists. If they do not, the banks should stop engaging in these activities to increase the banks’ profitability. Paper type – empirical.
