Corporate social performance can be understood as a way to measure the efficiency of interactions between companies and their main stakeholders. This evaluation has led to some steps forward in research and management implications. One of its main issues, which is the study of the relationship between social and financial performance, focuses on traditional joint-stock companies. This fact reveals a gap concerning the object of study in the literature of the area. The importance of investigating small and medium companies (SMCs) lies in their social and economic relevance and also in new evidences these studies may provide. After the theoretical discussion, this study presents a conceptual model composed of research propositions to be tested by future empirical studies that wish to answer the following question: in small and medium companies there are relations of cause and effect between social and financial performance? The test of the proposals suggested can reveal, among other results, the categories of social performance of SMCs most affected by a higher financial performance, as established by the premises of theoretical slack-resources; if the impact of these categories on the financial performance is qualified by way of management, confirming assumptions of the theory good management, or if there are no significant differences between the social performance of SMEs with higher financial performance and SMEs with low financial performance, revealing the existence of non-financial factors also influence social performance.

This study analyzes whether and how corporate social responsibility (CSR) affects the financial performance of the European banking industry. According to agency theory, CSR engagement should be negatively related to financial performance. By contrast, from the stakeholder perspective and according to the resource-based view, CSR should positively impact banks’ financial performance. Over a period of six years (2009-2015) following the explosion of the sub-prime crisis, the econometric estimates of the current study confirm a positive effect of CSR engagement on banks’ financial performance. Net interest income and profitability increase with the increase in social performance. At the same time, CSR is negatively related to non-performing loans. Therefore, in contrast to the trade-off model, our results support a win-win vision of the relationship between the social and financial performance of banks.

This research study explores the social and financial performance and sustainability costs on institutional ownership companies. The quantitative research method is used for this research study. The sample comprised of top forty US environmental companies from 2012 to 2014. The research question for this study is, what relationship is there between the corporate governance, corporate social and environmental performance, employee participation, and market and financial performance? This research finds that there is a positive correlation among all the variables except for the sustainability costs. The social performance has a significant correlation with the institutional ownership than sustainability costs. The social performance had a positive impact on stock price than sustainability costs. The increased strategy of the CSR practices didn’t motivate employee participation in the company’s ownership structure, a negative correlation. Institutional ownership had a very weak positive effect on the employee stock ownership. Employee stock ownership had a strong correlation with the stock price. The quality and frequency of the CSR reporting varies from company to company; hence, the investors, stakeholders, and shareholders had to depend on the management goodwill.

The increasing number of companies that publish sustainability reports in Indonesia has led to an increasing trend of research on the relationship between sustainability reports and financial performance. However, the results of these studies are still inconsistent. Re-examining the relationship between the sustainability report disclosure and financial performance is the aim of this study. Two things that make this study different from the previous one, the first study uses companies that consistently report sustainability reports, and the second, use financial performance measures, profitability. The sample used was 33 observations from companies that consistently reported sustainability reports during the 2017-2019 period. The test results show that the social dimension (SO) of the sustainability report has no effect on financial performance, while the other two dimensions, namely the environment (EN) and the Economy (EC), have a positive effect on financial performance.

This study examined the relationship between institutional investors and corporate social performance. Using corporate social performance data from the Fortune database, we demonstrated that institutional investors do not influence the social orientation of corporations. Further, the data seem to indicate that institutional investors are myopic with respect to a corporation's social position. However, there is support for the view that corporate social performance is an integral part of achieving a better match between an organization and the environment.

AbstractPrevious research has analyzed and debated corporate governance (CG) and corporate social responsibility (CSR) independently. This paper aims to empirically explore the interrelationship between CG, CSR, financial performance (FP) and Corporate Social Performance (CSP) using a sample of 297 electronics companies operating in Taiwan, a newly industrialized Asian economy. The results show that a CG model which includes independent outside directors and which has specific ownership characteristics has a significantly positive impact on both FP and CSP, whereas FP itself does not influence CSP. The presence of independent outside directors in the firm has the greatest impact on the social performance of the firm's worker, customer, supplier, community and society dimensions. Government shareholders enhance a firm's social performance extraordinarily because government shareholders will be more likely to request that companies fulfill their social responsibilities. Only government shareholders positively and significantly relate to a firm's environmental performance. Furthermore, foreign institutional stockholders help to increase worker and supplier performance by paying more attention to employee policies and supply chain relationships. Finally, independent outside directors, foreign institutional stockholders and domestic financial institutional stockholders are shown to improve financial performance.

With the rapid development of information technology, information security has been gaining attention. The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) has issued international standards and technical reports related to information security, which are gradually being adopted by enterprises. This study analyzes the relationship between information security certification (ISO 27001) and corporate financial performance using data from Chinese publicly listed companies. The study focusses on the impact of corporate decisions such as whether to obtain certification, how long to hold certification, and whether to publicize information regarding certification. The results show that there is a positive correlation between ISO 27001 and financial performance. Moreover, the positive impact of ISO 27001 on financial performance gradually increases with time. In addition, choosing not to publicize ISO 27001 certification can negatively affect enterprise performance.
