This research has produced a model of three-pillar cooperation between government - private - community in the implementation of an activity for development. The government as a regulator issues development programs that aim to improve the welfare of the community, including development in the environmental field. Sustainable environment has an impact on comfort and public health. Not all of these programs are covered by the government due to government budget constraints. Therefore, in order for programs to be implemented it is necessary to have cooperation with the private sector, especially business entities in the form of limited liability companies, as stated in Law no. 40/2007 concerning Limited Liability Company article 74. In this case utilizing funds from a corporate social responsibility (CSR) program. Companies in the form of State-Owned Enterprises (BUMN) put them in the Partnership and Community Development Program (PKBL), including PT. Pegadaian. The statement of the problem in this study is that the need for community participation in environmental preservation. The study used qualitative methods with in-depth interview and observation data collection techniques. Data triangulation is used to complement data analysis. PT. Pegadaian Region X in the Pungkur Region realized the Environmental Development program in the environment in the Balonggede Sub-District of Regol Sub-District in 2016, namely planting ornamental plants in pots (red shoots) along the sidewalks of the Pungkur road and the Dalem Kaum road for approximately 80 units. After being handed over to the government of the Balonggede Village, its maintenance is the responsibility of the Balonggede Village by involving the surrounding community, especially the people who are close to or in contact with the object. The diversity of people's treatment of plants reflects different perceptions resulting in plants that are not in uniform growth conditions, some are well maintained and grow well, and some are in poor growth conditions. This shows a lack of ownership of public facilities, thus indicating a low level of community participation in environmental preservation, especially environmental facilities as asistance of PT. Pegadaian Region X.

By means of the Investment Law No.25 year of 2007 and the Limited Liability Company Act No. 40 year of 2007, it is regulated that every company in Indonesia is obliged to implement CSR. However, these regulations are not set technically; therefore some local governments have made guidelines for the implementation of CSR through the District Regulations. The problems of this study are: (1) how is the CSR regulation model in the District Regulation? (2) What are the company’s attitude and the company’s request towards the CSR regulation in the District ?

The Implementation of CSR in Indonesia, most of them are not run in accordance with the existing theory because the government and society in CSR activities are not fully authorised to engage in these activities, due to the fact that private sector directly manages the CSR fund. Thus, the theory of governance puts three pillars as a principal provider of public service life, those are, (1) the state, (2) the civil society and (3) the private sector.  CSR has to involve all parts or elements which know about CSR, with a focus on the implementation of CSR has to be published and transparent;  the CSR Fund is administered by a forum / team through a memorandum of understanding facilitated by the government in accordance with its role as mandating, facilitating, partnering, and endorsing; the CSR forum consists of government, private sector, and society; the form of regional regulation on CSR by reference to Constitution Number 40 of 2007 on the Limited Liability Private sectors and Government Regulation Number 47 of 2012 on Corporate Social Responsibility so that CSR is considered as one of the important instruments in public administration.

Perjalanan Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) di dunia sejak tahun 1970-an telah mengalami banyak perkembangan, sebagaimana pula di Indonesia. CSR kini tidak lagi hanya sekedar etika bisnis semata, tetapi CSR telah payung dan berkembangan dengan berbagai pendekatan baik politik, ekonomi, maupun kepentingan sosial. Seringkali CSR hanya menjadi salah cara untuk memperkuat citra perusahaan, atau kepentingan politik sebuah brand tertentu. Salah satu isu yang ditangani kepedulian Progam CSR adalah mengatasi persoalan lingkungan, baik mengatasi kerusahan lingkungan maupun  pemeliharaan lingkungan; selain isu peningkatan sumber daya manusia di bidang pendidikan, peningkatan usaha ekonomi, dan dukungan kesehatan. Beragam cara implementasi CSR diterapkan dengan berbagai jenis inovasinya masing-masing demi manfaat bagi lingkungan sekitar. Umumnya, bentuk CSR dapat berupa penggalangan dana, pemberian bantuan fasilitas, atau sarana dan prasarana pendukung untuk kemajuan sebuah kawasan atau komunitas tertentu. Upaya CSR pelestarian lingkungan dilakukan khususnya pada industri ekstraktif,  yaitu perusahaan yang beroperasi dengan memanfaatkan sumber daya alam. Mereka berupaya meminimalisasi dampak kerusakan yang timbul pada kerusakan kelestarian lingkungan, yang mungkin dapat mengganggu kehidupan sosial masyarakat. Eksploitasi yang yang belerbihan akan merusak ekosistem, hingga akhirnya dapat mengancam kegiatan perekonomian masyarakat. Pemerintah di setiap negara mendorong pada setiap perusahaan/ industri ekstraktif untuk melakukan tanggung jawab sosialnya dalam bidang lingkungan, sehingga di masa depan akan semakin banyak perusahaan peduli terhadap lingkungan. Begitu pentingnya isu lingkungan, sebagian besar pemerintahan di berbagai negara mengeluarkan berbagai kebijakan khusus berkenaan implementasi CSR peduli lingkungan. The journey of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) in the world since the 1970s has experienced many developments, as well as in Indonesia. CSR is no longer just a mere business ethics, but CSR has been an umbrella and developed with variou s approaches both political, economic, and social interests. Often CSR is just a way to strengthen the company's image, or the political interests of a particular brand. One of the issues addressed by CSR Program concerns is overcoming environmental proble ms, both overcoming environmental problems and environmental preservation; in addition to the issue of increasing human resources in the field of education, increasing economic effort, and health support. Different ways of implementing CSR are implemented with different types of innovations each for the benefit of the surrounding environment. Generally, the form of CSR can be in the form of fundraising, providing assistance facilities, or supporting facilities and infrastructure for the progress of a partic ular region or community. Environmental conservation CSR efforts are carried out especially in extractive industries, namely companies that operate by utilizing natural resources. They try to minimize the impact of damage arising from damage to environment al sustainability, which may be able to disrupt people's social lives. Excessive exploitation will damage the ecosystem, which in turn can threaten the economic activities of the community. The government in each country encourages each extractive company / industry to carry out its social responsibilities in the environmental field, so that in the future more and more companies will care about the environment. Once the importance of environmental issues, most governments in various countries issued various specific policies regarding the implementation of CSR care for the environment

This article is intended to empirically test the effectiveness of the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) dimension of assistance to Small Business Entrepreneurs (SMEs) under companies’ guidance of Semen Indonesia in Central and East Java. Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) implementation for Small Business Entrepreneurs (SMEs), besides as a social contract implementation, is also an effort to increase legitimacy. This study is essential to obtain effective and relevant CSR dimensions recommended for the SME empowering program. The study was conducted at SMEs domiciled around the mining area and the cement factory. Out of 250 SMEs, 92 SMEs were involved in this study. The research data was primary, including respondents’ opinions, where the data were taken using survey and interview procedures. Data analysis using statistics was a factorial analysis. The results showed that of the eight programs included in CSR in the field of assistance for empowering SMEs, two were effective for empowering SMEs: (1) low-cost revolving funds and (2) production equipment assistance for SMEs. Meanwhile, six other CSR programs showed ineffectiveness: (1) mentoring, (2) marketing, (3) ease of procedure and relief of loan terms, (4) education and training, (5) accessibility of obtaining loans, and (6) the involvement of parties in the implementation of CSR. It indicated that the six CSR programs were not effective in helping to build image and legitimacy. The results of the research make an important contribution to the government and corporations and show that the construction of CSR programs must give attention to the real conditions and needs of SMEs in order to achieve effectiveness in solving problems by SMEs. Especially for the government, regulations are needed that can systemically encourage companies to implement CSR. This research still has limitations, therefore further research should be developed, especially in the area of empirical testing related to the contextual dimensions of CSR that are relevant to assisted stakeholders. Development-based research should be considered.

Abstract This study investigates government public policies facing competing firms’ strategic corporate social responsibility (CSR) activities and finds that the choice of CSR crucially depends on corporate profit tax. We demonstrate that strategic CSR decreases while social welfare increases with corporate tax. When the government grants uniform output subsidies, we show that bilateral CSR leads to a lower CSR level than under unilateral CSR but bilateral CSR is always beneficial to society. However, when the government grants discriminatory output subsidies which yield different levels of unilateral CSR, we show that domestic CSR leads to a lower CSR level than under foreign CSR. In an endogenous CSR choice game, domestic CSR (no CSR) is a Nash equilibrium when corporate tax is low (high) under the uniform subsidy, while foreign CSR could be a Nash equilibrium when corporate tax is low under the discriminatory subsidy.

AbstractCorporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is like a chameleon, that changes its colour according to the context it is in. In the developed economy, it takes the form of sustainability and/ or philanthropy, whereas, in emerging economies, it speaks the language of religious, political and/ or mandated CSR. India, in recent times came into the limelight with its mandated CSR policy that was incorporated into its Companies Act 2013, which became operational from the financial year 2014 - 2015. Mandated CSR is thus a new area of study that is based on the philosophy that ‘CSR should contribute to the national agenda in emerging economies,’ under some statutory guidelines as laid down by the Government.But, business houses, do look for maximising its profit. Profit can be financial and/ or non-financial. If not money, then at least the effort must be compensated with reputation, image, that helps in brand building! And, to have this as an objective, their efforts should be strategic! But, does all strategies work? With these questions and conceptual thinking, this empirical research aims to identify the key aspects of Strategic Management, CSR and Firm Performance and establish relationship between them; apart from developing a valid and reliable scale to do so. This is indeed one of the first researches and documentations done among the large Indian firms in India immediately in the post mandate period and thus forms a base for understanding the CSR dynamics in the years to come.

ABSTRACTDespite the prevalence of global diffusion, little is known about the processes by which international practices are adopted and adapted within organizations around the world. Through our qualitative research on the introduction of corporate social responsibility (CSR) reporting at two leading Chinese companies, we identify a unique set of political mechanisms that we labelstate-mediated globalization, whereby powerful nation-state actors influence the ways in which corporations adopt and adapt global norms and practices. We find that businesses’ needs for political legitimacy from a key stakeholder, in this case the government, leads them to deviate systematically from the global practice in bothformandcontent. These intentional practice adaptations are then legitimized by the government to createinternationalization toolsandlocalized standardsto aid adoption by other organizations. Our findings illustrate previously unidentified mechanisms by which powerful stakeholders such as the Chinese government may mediate, and thereby direct, the ways in which corporations adopt and adapt global CSR practices. Contributions to understanding the political processes of institutional translation in the context of globalization are discussed.

Purpose Since 2013, the Indian Companies Act Section 135 has mandated corporate social responsibility (CSR) reporting by Indian central public sector enterprises (CPSEs). CSR reporting is regulated by multiple Government of India ministerial agencies, each requiring different formats and often different data. This study aims to understand the impact of these multiple regulatory bodies on CSR reporting by Indian CPSEs; evaluate the expectation gap between regulators and the regulated; and investigate the compliance burden on CPSEs. Design/methodology/approach An interview-based approach was adopted to evaluate the perspectives of both regulators and regulated CPSEs on the impact of the new regulations on CSR reporting quality. The authors use the lens of institutional theory to analyse the findings. Findings Driven by coercive institutional pressures, CPSEs are overburdened with myriad reporting requirements, which significantly negatively impact CPSEs’ financial and human resources and the quality of CSR activity and reports. It is difficult for CPSEs to assess the actual impact of their CSR activities due to overlapping with activities of the government/other institutions. The perceptions of regulators and the regulated are divergent: the regulators expect CPSEs to select more impactful CSR projects to comply with mandatory reporting requirements. Originality/value The findings of this study emphasise the need for meaningful dialogue between regulators and the regulated to reduce the expectation gap and establish a single regulatory authority that will ensure that the letter and spirit of the law are followed in practice and not just according to a tick-box approach.
