CSR for sustainable development: Unserved population and under-developed region

Abstract

This research examined how CSR has helped businesses cope with rising populations, higher industrial needs, and recent global crises. The research uses a mixed methodology of qualitative and quantitative techniques. The research analyzes how corporate social responsibility (CSR) activities relate to financial outcomes using both theoretical frameworks and actual evidence. The strength of CSR funds compared to more conventional funds can be gauged by looking at how they fare in the financial markets. Most research finds a beneficial relationship between corporate social responsibility and financial performance. In particular, CSR funds provide a more stable alternative to conventional funds by providing more excellent protection against losses during times of crisis. The findings imply that integrating CSR into business models boosts overall performance and resilience, bearing implications for corporate strategy and investment decisions, especially during economic instability. © 2024, IGI Global.
