“…This result supports the above proposed strategy in which a service firm should actively communicate socially responsible behaviors to its stakeholders. In fact, research findings indicate that many companies do not effectively communicate their CSR activities to their stakeholders (Du et al, 2007;Sen et al, 2006), which constitutes a critical impediment for these companies in maximizing the business benefits of their CSR activities (Du et al, 2010).…”

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is becoming a common strategy within medium and large companies, which explains the growing number of studies and disciplines focusing on it. One stream of research examines the effects of CSR on a firm's performance, such as its market value, suggesting that the financial performance outcomes of responsible corporate behavior may vary depending on firm-specific and industry-related factors. This study attempts to explain why the impact of CSR initiatives may be different and/or more firm performance that is higher for service firms than for product-based firms. As for practical implications, these findings suggest that CSR may be an especially valuable tool for differentiation in the service context.

Social responsibility is a multi-dimensional concept that requires identifying a number of criteria and their weights to be assessed in a financial asset. Currently a varied discussion is held among practitioners and academics with respect to this question. The common practice is to equally weight all the social responsibility criteria. However, investors may wish to prioritize a particular dimension depending on their preferences. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to tackle this issue, e.g. to provide different weights for the different SR criteria according to the opinion of different stakeholders. These weights are later used in order to build a composite measure of social responsibility and to rank mutual funds.To that end, Vigeo's list of social responsibility criteria is taken as the starting point for discussion. The Equitics® database gives the information for the companies' social responsibility performance according to those criteria. Stakeholders are selected according to various proposals and the Analytic Hierarchy Process is applied to weighting the Vigeo's criteria according to the stakeholders' preferences. The methodology allows not only assessing the financial assets but also tracking their evolution with the periodic Equitics® database updates.To prove the feasibility and utility of the methodology, a case study analysing Spanish equity mutual funds has been carried out. Among other results, the method shows that the so-called "responsible" funds do not perform particularly well in the social responsibility assessment. Besides, we have found that there are few mutual funds with a good balance between financial and social responsibility behaviour.

A positive influence of CSR awareness of consumers on attitudes toward the enterprise, identification with the enterprise and purchase intension is indicated by Sen, Bhattachary and Korschun [14]. Green and Peloza demonstrated in a qualitative study a change in consumer behavior to the effect that consumer think extended about purchase, shop less and budget their money [15].…”
