Purpose The purpose of this paper is to study how board attributes impact corporate social responsibility (CSR). In particular, this paper aims to empirically examine the impact of financial performance on the relationship between board attributes and CSR. Board attributes such as board size, board independence, female board representation and CEO-chair duality are included. Design/methodology/approach This study uses panel data set of 200 French companies listed during 2007–2018 period. The direct and moderating effects were tested by using multiple regression technique. Findings The results indicate that significant direct relationships exist among board attributes and CSR. Board independence and female board representation are positively linked with CSR. However, board size and CEO duality are negatively associated with CSR. Findings show, also, that corporate financial performance accentuates significantly the effect of board size, board independence and CEO-duality on CSR, but does not moderate the relationship between female board representation and CSR. Practical implications The findings may be of interest to different stakeholders and policy-makers and regulatory bodies interested in enhancing CG initiatives to strengthen corporate social responsibility because it suggests thinking about implementing a broadly accepted framework of good CG practices to meet the demand for greater transparency and accountability. As an extension to this research, further study can examine the impact of ownership structure and audit quality on CSR issues. Originality/value This study extends the dynamic relationship between CG mechanisms and CSR by offering new evidence on how corporate financial moderates this relationship.

“…Due to rising social expectations, behaving responsibly and contributing to society have increasingly become essential for organizations (Garcia-Sanchez and Garcia-Sanchez, 2020). Appropriate corporate social responsibility (CSR) actions that target the needs of several stakeholders can lead to competitive advantages by contributing to brand respect (Amegbe et al ., 2021), brand reputation and brand image (Kim et al ., 2021), perceived trustworthiness (Bugandwa et al ., 2021) and customer commitment (Shah and Khan, 2020). Effectively implementing CSR actions during sensitive and turbulent times such as the new coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic is even more crucial, and organizations must develop proper CSR actions to incorporate social value into their operations during crises (Relaño, 2011; He and Harris, 2020).…”

PurposeConsumers’ corporate social responsibility (CSR) expectations have increased in the new coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, while many financial institutions have supported society with their health-related CSR actions. This study examines the impact of CSR actions and brand origin on consumer attitudes, CSR perceptions, customer-based brand equity (CBBE) and supportive communication intent in retail banking during the crisis from signaling and stakeholder theory perspectives.Design/methodology/approachA 2 (foreign vs. local brand) x 2 (COVID-19-related vs. another CSR action) between-subjects factorial design was used to analyze consumer data.FindingsCSR actions of local brands created more positive attitudes, CSR perceptions and greater CBBE and supportive communication intent than foreign banks. However, CSR action (COVID-19-related vs. another) did not significantly influence consumer attitudes, CSR perceptions, CBBE and supportive communication intent.Originality/valueThis research has shown the significant impact of brand origin on consumer perceptions in response to CSR actions during the pandemic. It has suggested an original conceptual framework and presented timely empirical findings for retail banking in the pandemic period, which can exemplify a crisis period shaped by uncertainty. Besides, it extended the previous literature by focusing on the interaction between brand origin and CSR actions in shaping consumers’ CSR and brand perceptions. It is among the first studies examining brand origin’s impact on supportive communication intent.

“…Thus, it can be easily identified the quality of the ESG practices of each company. Then, the previous studies employed survey-based measures for corporate reputation (e.g., Aguilera-Caracuel & Guerrero-Villegas, 2017; Kim et al, 2021). Yet, the limitation of this method is the doubts about the credibility, applicability, and reliability of the results when applied in the context of various countries because the survey was conducted on people with very different economic, social, and cultural backgrounds (Brown & Perry, 1994;Fryxell & Wang, 1994).…”

Research aims: This study aims to investigate the effect of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance on foreign investment through corporate reputation.Design/Methodology/Approach: This study’s population was all non-financial companies listed on Indonesia Stock Exchange from 2015 to 2019. Moreover, the hypotheses testing technique used was Two-Stage Least Square (2SLS), with 150 observations distributed in balanced panel data. In addition, additional analysis was conducted to examine how each company paid attention to ESG practices based on its industry classification through descriptive statistical analysis.Research findings: The regression results revealed that companies with good ESG performance tended to have a high level of foreign investment. However, it could not be explained by the corporate reputation. In an additional test, this study documented that the mining industry had a much better ESG performance than other industrial groups.Theoretical contribution/Originality: This study pays attention to foreign investment through trading domestic equity shares, whereas previous studies only focused on ESG practices in the FDI process. In addition, this study examined corporate reputation in explaining the relationship.Practitioner/Policy implication: The research results can be used by standard setters in developing sustainability disclosure standards in Indonesia, which International Sustainability Standards Board is currently initiating.Research limitation/Implication: The weakness in this study is the small number of samples employed in the test due to the minimal availability of ESG data in the database.
