Objective - A Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) implementation has been implemented since over 50 years ago. All of the CSR implementation divided into two categories, namely Strategic CSR and Non-Strategic CSR. A Strategic CSR implementation should consider the firm strategy based on the CSR concept and firm strategy. Some empirical studies have tested the influence of CSR on Corporate Financial Performance. The results of those studies are still inconclusive. Methodology/Technique - The purpose of this study is to analyze firm strategy as intervening variable between Corporate Social Performance and Corporate Financial Performance. This study used capital intensity and product differentiation to measure the firm strategy. The samples were 33 companies of LQ-45, listed in Indonesian Stock Exchange. Findings - The results did not indicate that firm strategy intervenes the influence of Corporate Social Performance on Corporate Financial Performance, both directly and indirectly. Novelty - The research suggests future studies to employ the other ratios representing Firm Strategy that will strengthen the literature. Type of Paper - Empirical Keywords: Corporate Financial Performance; Corporate Social Performance; Firm Strategy; Non-Strategic CSR; Strategic CSR. JEL Classification: L25, M14, M41

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to examine whether the variables of social performance and corporate financial performance affect each other. Methodology: The research has used quantitative methods, namely, regression testing, in the form of descriptive statistics and multiple regression analysis. The data obtained in this research are analyzed by using the Statistical Product and Service Solutions (SPSS) program, version 22. In order to answer the study objectives, the researcher analyzes the mining companies listed on the Indonesian Stock Exchange (IDX). Results: The results of this study indicate that social performance has a significant positive effect on corporate financial performance; this is as per good management theory. Furthermore, it was found that financial performance has a significant positive effect on corporate social performance; this is as per slack resources theory. Implication: This study implies that social performance can help firms to improve social performance. Hence, a firm should consider depositing its profitability to increase social performance that may lead to the improvement of firm performance.

As stakeholder relations vary depending on firm characteristics, the associations among corporate financial performance (CFP), corporate giving, and corporate social performance (CSP) are complex. In this paper, we contribute to the literature by exploring CFP as a predictor of CSP by differentiating the stakeholder groups that firms interact with; that is, primary versus secondary stakeholder relations. Our study also extends the existing literature by examining who the beneficiaries of corporate philanthropy are, and the role played on the CFP/CSP association. By extracting a sample of 52 firms and 312 firm-year observations from the Korea Economic Justice Institute database, we find that while CFP has a positive effect only on primary stakeholder relations, corporate philanthropy has a positive impact on both primary and secondary stakeholder relations. Furthermore, we observe an overall influence of CFP on stakeholder relations when corporate philanthropy is high. Our findings suggest that differentiating multiple stakeholder groups together with the role played by corporate philanthropy provides a more valuable and meaningful analysis of the antecedents of CSP.

Abstract This study aims to investigate the potential factors of influence on corporate financial performance, by using the panel data regression analysis. The research was employed for a sample consisting of 40 companies listed on the Bucharest Stock Exchange, over the period 2010-2012. Corporate financial performance considered as the dependent variable was proxied through return on assets, return on equity, and Tobin’s Q ratio. There were selected the following factors that could influence corporate financial performance: capital structure, firm size, and corporate social responsibility involvement. Likewise, several control variables have been introduced: structure of the ownership and institutional investors. The results show a strong negative relationship between corporate financial performance and debt to equity ratio. Also, there has been revealed a positive influence of the company size on performance, although weak. Furthermore, the relationship between financial performance and social performance has been statistically validated, both using accounting and market ratios.

This paper aims at empirically supporting, in a cross-country and cross-industry analysis, the instrumental role of stakeholder management by adopting a disaggregated approach to the corporate social performance measurement. By using a sample of 250 European industrial listed firms, from 10 European countries, in the period 2001-2003, we find the following evidence: i) the firm is not socially responsible towards all stakeholders, but invests more in key-stakeholders, those who are (perceived as) more influential on its business and have a more valuable impact on its financial performance; ii) a null or weak significance of the relationship between corporate social performance (CSP) and corporate financial performance (CFP) in the whole sample hides highly significant opposite relationships in two separate sub-samples (i.e. firms with positive and negative relationship, respectively): the sign of the CSP-CFP link cannot be expected to be univocal, since the marginal reward-cost equilibrium of social investment is firm-specific.

This paper examines empirically the impact of corporate social performance (CSP) on financial performance (FP). The study relates to a panel of 32 firms listed on the Stock Exchange of Casablanca during the period of study from 2011 to 2017. The empirical findings obtained, by linear regressions on panel data, clearly find the lack of impact of the corporate social performance on the financial performance measured by the Return on Investment (ROI), Return on Equity (ROE) and Earnings Per Share (EPS) ratios. The influence of corporate social performance on financial performance is statistically insignificant. The financial performance of firms classified or not socially efficient are almost identical. Finally, the results obtained clearly show the absence of this causal link between corporate social performance (CSP) on financial performance (FP), which confirms the research hypothesis. Finally, since the relationship between these two performances could be non-linear, we can deepen this article using econometric methods that can analyze the non-linear effect such as quantile regression and the regime-change model.
