This paper examines the relationship between corporate social responsibility disclosure (CSRD) and organizational performance in terms of financial performance, employee commitment and corporate reputation in Libyan companies through stakeholder’s pressures. The researchers have chosen the Libyan context as one of the world’s developing countries and it has undergone many changes over a short period of time in terms of economic, environmental and social changes. The empirical study was used to collect data relating to CSRD and organizational performance in Libyan companies, it was employed to analyse 110 annual reports of 40 firms that were gathered by using content analysis. This paper reveals that level of CSRD in the annual reports has a positive relationship with organizational performance in terms of financial performance and corporate reputation, while there is not significant relationship between level of CSRD and employee commitment. This paper contributes to the accounting ...

The study adopts a quantitative methodological approach. Using a statistical analysis technique, the study makes use of regression analysis to explore the relation between the independent variable (number of CSR achievements) and the dependent variable (average share price). The number of CSR achievements was extracted from annual reports using content analysis. The average share price was taken from the annual reports. The total sample is 10 industrial companies listed in Australian Stock Exchange (ASX), and the sample comprises 50 annual reports. The result of the analysis shows that overall there is positive relationship between CSR disclosure and the financial performance of listed Australian companies operating in the industrial sector of the economy.

Study on the Relationship between CSR and Financial Performance
Sustainability, 2019
This study analyzed whether a systematic relationship exists between corporate social responsibility (CSR) performance and corporate financial performance using 191 sample firms listed on the Korea Exchange. The Korea Economic Justice Institute (KEJI) index of 2015 was used to measure CSR performance; profitability and firm value were used to measure corporate financial performance. Return on assets was used as a proxy for profitability, and Tobin’s Q was used as a proxy for firm value. The correlation between these variables and CSR performance was examined through correlation and regression analysis. The results confirm that CSR performance has a partial positive correlation with profitability and firm value. These results are partly consistent with those of previous studies reporting a positive relationship between CSR and Korean firms’ financial performance using the KEJI index before 2011. In the relationship between CSR performance and profitability, only social contribution y...

Developing economies like Pakistan, still struggling to promote the emerging concept of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), so this research aims to investigate the impact of CSR Disclosure (CSRD) on a Firm’s Performance (FP). This study is based on conceptual aspects of CSRD and is different because FP is measured with three different types of proxies, i.e. operational, financial and market performance. The empirical results of this research show the positive and significant impact of CSRD on a firm’s operational and financial performance but insignificant in the case of market performance. It is further concluded that firms disclosing CSR have better operational and financial performance. This study is a pioneer to uplift the importance of CSRD in Pakistan and therefore an addition to existing literature, this paper also provides different new ways to assess the link between CSRD and FP.
Impact of corporate social responsibility on financial performance of listed Moroccan companies
International Journal of Financial Accountability, Economics, Management, and Auditing (IJFAEMA)
This paper aims to study empirically the relationship between corporate social responsibility (CSR) and financial performance (FP) in the Moroccan context. We opted for a longitudinal study of listed companies over the period 2012-2017. We have used the accounting and financial indicators to assess FP. In the absence of an index which measures the score of the PS, we opted for a dichotomous variable which takes a value 1 if the company is labeled CSR by the CGEM and value 0 if not. Control variables are measured by size, age, risk, and industry. Panel data are used as well to analyze data. Findings of this study indicate mixed results. Indeed, we have found a positive impact of CSR on PF, when using ROA as proxy for FP. However, when using ROE as proxy for FP, we do not find any impact of CSR on FP (neutral impact). We found that ROS is linked negatively with CSR.
THE ASSOCIATION BETWEEN CSR AND CORPORATE PERFORMANCE
Association between CSR and corporate performance, 2013
We studied the various theories on Corporate Social Responsibility with the view to ascertaining their applicability in Nigerian oil & gas sector. We also tested for association between corporate social responsibility and oil & gas corporate performance. To achieve these, we concentrated on quoted oil &gas companies mainly because, the Oil & Gas sector is perceived by Nigerians to be more liable to corporate social responsibility. This study was originally designed to apply the census method in collecting data (i.e, Population = Sample); but due to lack of data, we restricted the study samples to the number of oil companies which have their annual reports for the periods of interest in the Nigerian Stock Exchange (i.e 2007 to 2012). Eight (8) out of the ten (10) oil and gas companies that are listed on the Nigerian Stock Exchange were studied. The methods of analysis used in this study are the descriptive statistics, correlation and regression analysis. The regression analysis was used to test the research hypothesis in order to determine the performance factors that affect CSR positively. We found that, there are evidences of ethical and developmental theories but less of regulatory requirements. Also, we found that the higher the earnings quality, operating cash flow and turnover the lesser the corporate social responsibility by oil & gas companies. We conclude therefore that, oil companies are socially responsible. Oil and gas sector focuses more on donations, sponsorships, social development, and education; therefore, recommending that oil & gas companies should endeavour to monitor their cash flow in line with their spending on CSR.

This study aims to investigate the relationship between CSR practices and financial performance. The study formulates one hypothesis about the effect of CSR practices on firms' financial performance. This study is based on data of 20 companies from the construction and chemical sectors from 2015 to 2019. The hypothesis was tested by using panel regression through using R software version 3.2. The results suggest that CSR practices has positive and significant effect on the financial performance of the firms in the study sample. The relationship between CSR practices and financial performance is inconclusive. There is a need to establish a general link between CSR practices and financial performance. The varying outcomes are primarily due to sample size, operationalization, and context, among other factors. Given the resource constraints, researchers suggest to conduct research on the association between CSR practices and financial performance in the context of developing countries. This study contributes to the literature on the effect of CSR practices on financial performance in the context of a developing country (Pakistan) and provides practical insights to corporate managers. Based on the results attained, it would be recommended that Pakistani corporate firms secure better financial performance by committing themselves in CSR activities.
This study aims to analyze relationship between corporate social responsibility (CSR) and corporate financial performance (CFP) using content analysis from 1972 to 2012. In this study, strategy of Margolis and Walsh (2001), Orlitzky et al. (2003), and Dam (2008) is implemented and financial measures such as stock market returns, Tobin’s Q, and accounting profits ratios e.g. return on assets (ROA), return on equity (ROE), and return on sales (ROS) are targeted. Study concludes that strong positive relationship exists between CSR and CFP using Tobin’s Q as financial performance measure, mostly studies found positive relationship between CSR and CFP using ROA, ROE, & ROS as financial performance measure, and mostly studies found negative relationship between CSR and CFP using stock market returns as financial performance measures. This study will provide literature evidences as record about CSR and CFP to empirical as well as theoretical prospective researcher and limitations are discussed also.
