In recent years, sustainable crowdfunding has been one of the key elements in the search for new sources of financing. This has involved eliminating financial barriers and intermediaries, bringing entrepreneurs’ projects closer to fund providers, and thus instigating changes in traditional investment and profitability parameters. Among these indicators, the sustainable business return and its relationship with Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) could be a relevant factor to improve the cost of funding, to explain the return on assets (ROA), and, consequently, impacting on the return on equity (ROE). In this context, this paper takes as a reference 101 projects that are part of Colectual’s lending. We analyze factors such as sustainability—the application of CSR across a social responsibility index; the financial characteristics of the company—liquidity, leverage, and solvency; and the characteristics of the loans related to crowdfunding—amount, maturity, and charge rate of the loan. Our study provides empirical evidence that, besides financial characteristics, the commitment to CSR can improve collective lending and the management of resources, as well as enhance the capital wealth of companies, by improving shareholder profitability or ROE. Investors consider not only financial risk but also sustainability factors.

The empirical research into the impact of CSR on return on  assets is confusing and far from conclusive. Also in most ofthe previous studies; economic performance covered a (commonly five year) period “surrounding” the CSR performanceand/or social disclosure periods. To overcome these limitations, our paper assess the impact of CSR return on assets ofmanufacturing firms in Nigeria. The result showed that with CSR, corporate social responsibility had a positive and significant effect on return on assets of the manufacturing organizations while without CSR, the impact is negative and non-significant. The implication is that what companies spend on the development of society of interest may be related toreturn on equity but does not significantly detect increase/decrease in return on equity. This study thus posits thatmanufacturing organizations should concentrate evenly also on other elements which organization see mainly as majordeterminants of return on assets as the finding is showing an insignificant effect of CSR on ROA.

The purpose of the study was to correlate bank investments into Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives with the financial performance of profitability measured as Return on Assets (RAO) or Return on Equity (ROE). The selected bank from UAE was Abu Dhabi Commercial Bank (ADCB). From Bangladesh, the selected Public Commercial Banks were Dutch-Bangla Bank Ltd. (DBBL) and Islami Bank Bangladesh Ltd (IBBL) and selected State-Owned Banks are Janata Bank Ltd (JBL) and Rupali Bank Ltd. (RBL). From India, the selected banks were ICICI and Axis. The study methodology was KLD Research Analytics and Correlation Coefficient of the Year on Year (YoY) change of the CSR versus profits. There were result outcomes across all these tests. The YoY comparison for ADCB from UAE shows a negative coefficient but strengthening the correlation between CSR and profitability over the five year period. The YoY comparison of ICICI for CSR % to profitability impact had weak correlation and fluctuating coefficient. The YoY comparison for Axis bank showed that the correlation between CSR expenditure and profit is largely positive and the coefficient is also significant. The comparison for PCBs DBBL and IBBL revealed that there was a positive correlation with the profitability, but the YoY CSR% to profitability change shows a weak coefficient. The comparison between the State-Owned Banks JBL and RBL shows that the YoY comparison of CSR% to profitability has a weak correlation but insignificant coefficient. In conclusion, banks should undertake ethical CSR when pursuing profitability.

ABSTRACT We examine whether short sellers, as informed investors, take into consideration corporate social responsibility (CSR) performance and disclosure in the areas of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) sustainability in making investment decisions. We find that firms' market value and future financial performance, measured by price per share, return on equity, and return on assets, are lower, whereas operating risk, measured by the standard deviation of return on equity and the standard deviation of return on assets, is higher for firms with low composite ESG scores. We detect a negative association between ESG scores and short selling, indicating that short sellers avoid firms with high ESG scores and tend to target firms with low ESG scores. We conclude that investors consider firms' ESG scores as value relevant in making investment decisions and thus management should integrate CSR into strategic decisions and corporate reporting.

The research method used is descriptive and associative. The population and sample used are all telecommunications companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX). The analysis technique used is multiple linear regression analysis. Based on the results of the study indicate that Return on Assets (ROA) has a significant positive effect on firm value (P <0.05). Return on Equity (ROE) does not have a significant effect on firm value (P> 0.05). Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has no significant effect on firm value (P> 0.05). It is suggested for the next researcher that the company studied not only in the telecommunications sector, but all companies listed on the IDX that have good characteristics to be used as populations, and are advised to examine other financial variables that affect the value of the company.

A Responsabilidade Social da Empresa (RSE), tamén denominada Responsabilidade Social Corporativa (RSC), formúlase como un factor estratéxico clave na xestión. O obxecto deste traballo é analizar as relacións existentes entre os principios de RSE e a rendibilidade das empresas do sector da construción en Galicia. Para iso realízase unha revisión do concepto de RSE e da súa evolución; a continuación analízase a relación entre a RSE e os resultados empresariais a nivel global para empresas galegas representativas do sector da construción; e, por último, desenvólvense indicadores cuantitativos que permiten avaliar a xestión e o desempeño na empresa e contrástanse as formulacións teóricas cos resultados obtidos a través da modelización econométrica para unha mostra de 100 empresas. A análise comparativa realízase a través da rendibilidade sobre activos ou económica (ROA, Return On Assets) e a rendibilidade, sobre fondos propios ou financeira (ROE, Return On Equity). Concluímos que existe unha relación positiva entre os rendementos financeiros e a RSE, polo que esta se consolida como fonte de vantaxe competitiva.
