Corporate Governance and Corporate Social Responsibility, Relationship and…
Corporate Governance and Corporate Social Responsibility
Corporate Governance
(CG) is concerned with balancing economic and social goals and between individual and
communal goals.
Corporate Social Responsibility
(CSR)
is concerned with treating the firm's stakeholders ethically or in a socially
responsible manner.
CSR DISCLOSURE
CSR disclosure can be defined as the information that a company discloses about its environmental impact and its relationship with its stakeholders through relevant communication channels (Gray et al. 2001).
Reasons for CSR Disclosure:
By disclosing information on their social and environmental performance, firms want to minimize the(potential) costs arising from the firm's interaction and its natural and societal environment—referred to as political or societal costs (Fields et al. 2001).
Voluntary corporate social disclosure gives the public information regarding a company's activities that
relate to the community.
The company would have a better reputation, which would increase its chances to secure contracts
from the Government as it is seen as socially responsible.
Corporate social responsibility may be able to strengthen stakeholder relations as reporting promotes
corporate transparency and instills greater confidence and trust
