“…Many firms have responded to these forces by implementing CSR activities in their business process; however, some have opposed them. Firms that opposed CSR have opted for a compromise between profitability and CSR, which led academic researchers to move their interests to this subject matter, and they have been presenting studies on CSR governance and firm performance; however, the examination of statistical relationships between CSR governance and firm performance is limited [4] and produces inconsistent results. CSR has predominantly been considered a Western phenomenon in terms of standards and systems, which are weak in countries like India.…”

The present study analyzed the impact of corporate social responsibility (CSR) reporting on the financial performance of Indian companies. It used secondary data from 50 manufacturing companies over the period of fiscal years 2011 to 2017. The results suggested that there exists a significant relationship between the performance of Indian companies and their CSR. The CSR not only improves the firm’s social value and reputation but also improves profitability and performance. According to the results, return on assets is significantly determined by corporate governance, customers, products, number of employees, and board size. The customer has a negative impact on return on assets (ROA). The relationship between return on equity and independent variables is the same as the relationship between ROA and independent variables. Corporate governance and product positively impact ROE, but the relationship between customers, number of employees, and board size are negative. Corporate governance and product positively impact return on capital employed (ROCE), but the relationship between customer and the number of employees is negative. Education has positive impact on profit after tax (PAT) and profit before tax (PBT), but the PAT relationship between environments is negative. Corporate governance and product positively impact PBT. In general, we concluded that in India, socially responsible corporations perform better and vice versa.
