The purpose of this study was to determine the company's participation and coordination with the Cirebon City Government in poverty reduction through the CSR program. The research method uses qualitative methods with collection in the form of literature studies, documentation studies, interviews and observations. The result of this research is that the company's participation in coordinating with the Cirebon City Government in poverty reduction through the CSR program is not optimal because the majority of companies carry out CSR programs directly to target groups without coordinating with the Cirebon City Government. The factors that influence the company's participation in coordinating with the Cirebon City Government in poverty reduction through the CSR Program are the sub-optimal leadership of the Mayor of Cirebon, the lack of communication between the Cirebon City Government and company leaders, and the inadequate education of company leaders in the form of awareness, knowledge and understanding of coordination mechanism in the CSR Program.

This article analyses the perception and application of corporate social responsibility (CSR) practices in a sample of 499 micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in the city of Santa Marta (Colombia) following the theory of Stakeholders. Specifically, the interdependence technique of exploratory factor analysis was used to determine the most influential Stakeholders in the execution of CSR practices. It was found that Stakeholders related to the value chain, the environment and corporate management favour social responsibility actions in local MSMEs. In contrast, community and government have less influence on the development of social responsibility practices in MSMEs. Additionally, it was found that the size of the business acts as an important moderator of the development of the CSR. Given that there is a distinctive influence of Stakeholders in the development of responsible practices in the MSMEs of Santa Marta, it is suggested that comprehensive training programs on social responsibility be promoted in smaller companies.
