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.

The aim of this paper is to investigate the impact of corporate social responsibility (CSR) on corporate financial performance (CFP) through information asymmetry (IA) as a mediator. The study involved the whole sectors in the listed companies on Egx100 excluding Financial sectors (banks and financial services) from 2013-2017 using smart PLS (Partial Least Square). CSR is measured using CSR index, while Share turnover ratio is used to measure IA. CFP is divided into three indicators: ROA, ROE and ROS. The Structural model assessment reveals that CSR has a positive and significant effect on CFP. This means that those listed companies engaged in CSR activities achieved better financial performance than non- CRS companies. The CSR proved to have a negative and significant effect on the IA. This shows that CSR activities lead to decreased IA. Finally, this research found that CSR activities will improve CFP through IA.

The study examines the impact of company size, industry sensitivity, government ownership, liquidity and company age on Corporate Social Responsibility Disclosure (CSRD) in 2019 annual reports of listed companies on the Vietnam stock market. We also consider the relationship between CSRD and the financial performance measured by return on assets (ROA) and return on equity (ROE). This study uses descriptive statistics and regression methods to test research hypotheses. The empirical findings show that company characteristics, including firm size, liquidity, government ownership and environmental industry sensitivity, are positively associated with firms’ CSRD level. Firm age does not influence the CSRD of listed companies. The CSRD significantly affects both ROA and ROE. Our study provides several suggestions to promote the CSR information disclosure of listed companies and enhance their social responsibility for sustainable development.

This research described Chinese listed firms' COVID-19 Outbreak and financial performance using corporate culture (CC) and corporate social responsibility (CSR) evidence. The epidemic's impact on Chinese companies' profits was much less than the impact on their sales growth rates. Although the COVID-19 has had a more significant negative impact on the financial performance of Chinese listed companies in sectors that are more severely impacted, such as travel and entertainment, we believe that the financial performance of the medical industry has improved as a result of the outbreak. Meanwhile, Chinese listed companies in high-risk areas experience more significant financial losses during the epidemic, and the Hubei impact is hefty weight. Corporate social responsibility moderated the inverse relationship between this epidemic and Chinese firms' economic success. This research enhances the current literature on the effects of the COVID-19 on financial success and practical, realistic, and theoretical consequences in companies worldwide.

Purpose The purpose of this study is to analyze the impact of corporate social responsibility (CSR) disclosure on the financial performance of Islamic banks across nine countries as major markets that contribute to international Islamic bank assets (Indonesia, Malaysia, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Kuwait, Qatar, Turkey, Bahrain and Pakistan or further will be called QISMUT + 3 countries). Design/methodology/approach Islamic Social Reporting Disclosure Index (ISRDI) is being used as a benchmark for Islamic bank CSR performance that contains a compilation of CSR standard items specified by the Accounting and Auditing Organization for Islamic Financial Institutions. The secondary data is collected from the respective bank’s annual reports and it used the regression analysis techniques for statistical testing. Findings This study found that CSR disclosure measured by ISRDI has a positive effect on financial performance. Almost all ISRDI sub-major categories have a positive effect on financial performance except the “environment” subcategory. The highest major subcategory for ISRDI is the “corporate governance” category (82%) and the “environment” category (13%) is the lowest. For the UAE, Kuwait and Turkey, the ISRDI is positively affected by financial performance and the other countries on this research are not. Originality/value This study highlighted the economic benefits of social responsibility practices as a part of business ethics in nine countries that uphold the value of religiosity. Thus, the development of the results of this research for subsequent research is very wide open.

This study focuses on a sample of Chinese listed companies from 2019 to 2020 to explore the relationships among corporate social responsibility, financial constraints, and financial performance. In addition, we discuss five factors affecting financial constraints. We also analyze the types of enterprises that can improve their financial performance by implementing corporate social responsibility keeping in mind the factors that lead to a high degree of financial constraint. The results indicate that: 1. The degree of financial constraints has a negative and significant impact on financial performance; 2. There is a reverse relationship between the degree of financial constraints and the effectiveness of corporate social responsibility measures; 3. Enterprises with high financial constraints (due to lower financial slack and revenue growth rates) can significantly improve their financial performance through the implementation of effective corporate social responsibility programs. 4. Enterprises with high financial constraints, caused by financial slack and revenue growth rate, can significantly improve their financial performance by implementing corporate social responsibility programs.
