“…He also extended the topic with a consideration of supply chains. Cooke and He [29] connected the terms human resource management and corporate social responsibility in the Chinese textile and apparel industry through the perception of the managers regarding these two terms. Pedersen et al [43] investigated the institutional pressures of CSR within the Nordic fashion industry with the assistance of responses from 400 fashion companies in Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Iceland.…”

“…The concepts of CSR have continually evolved and are still actively debated. As a result, many studies apply the concept of CSR to different sectors, for instance, to food industries [21,22], educational institutions [23,24], automobile sectors [25,26], apparel and textile industries [27][28][29], pharmaceutical [30,31] and so on. While much debate focuses on improving the effective implementation of CSR, the basic need for improvement substantiates the idea that CSR is neither clearly understood nor effectively implemented.…”

Abstract:The ventilating crisis of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) issues in the textiles industry resulted in the engagement of many researchers in the analysis of CSR and its related factors throughout the globe. Some researchers in developed nations extend their policies beyond the boundary of CSR in the textiles industry, but some developing contexts are still limited to this boundary, including India, due to facts that have not yet been revealed. Hence, to fill this gap, this study reveals the factors that are resisting the implementation of CSR in the textiles industry with the assistance of a proposed model, and this model is validated with a case industry situated in southern India. Common barriers are collected through various reliable means, and among those common barriers, the essential barrier was identified with the assistance of the case industrial manager through an Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) under a fuzzy environment. The results show that financial constraints comprise the main barrier to the implementation of CSR in the Indian textiles industry, which is then further validated with feedback from case industry managers. This study offers both societal and scientific insights, identifies limitations, and provides an approach that may be extended in the future once additional factors are implemented.

“…And the philanthropic responsibilities indicate that a firm has to serve to improve the quality of life by attempting to help other people and contribute to well-being of society (Lindgreen, Swaen, & Johnston, 2009;Maignan, 2001;Qu, 2007;Snider, Hill, & Martin, 2003). Since there is a reciprocal relationship among the dimensions, these responsibilities should be fulfilled together and in parallel rather than within a sequence (Cooke & He, 2010;Ramasamy & Yeung, 2009). Even if CSR approach is added to companies' attitudes and practices, the attitudes and practices of the companies toward CSR could be different depending on their perception about what the CSR is.…”

“…While they may not be as demanding as their counterparts in US, the Hong Kong financial intermediaries and investors are more likely to demand more in terms of CSR than their mainland counterparts. In fact, prior studies find that CSR is still at a very early stage in Chinese mainland (Gugler & Shi, 2009;Ip, 2009) and that mainland managers and investors care more about financial performance than CSR performance (Cooke & He, 2010;Zu & Song, 2009). From the perspective of the supply side, the reputational bonding urges the managers of cross-listed firms to provide more CSR activities than non-cross-listed firms do.…”

This study investigates the association between corporate social responsibility (CSR) performance and cross-listing. In a clean setting where a change in CSR performance can be attributed to the cross-listing, we find a statistically significant and economically meaningful increase in CSR performance for the cross-listed firms. Moreover, such an increase comes mostly in technical CSR, which targets the firms' primary stakeholders. We also find that the positive association between cross-listing and CSR improvements is more pronounced for firms with weak corporate governance. The results hold under a variety of different robustness checks.
