Comparative Research Implementation of CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) in Various Sectors of the Indonesian Stock Exchange
Abstract
Purpose: Up until now, no study has compared how CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) is implemented across different business sectors. This article's purpose is to close this knowledge gap by examining how businesses across many industries modify and incorporate social responsibility into their fundamental business practices to draw in both domestic and foreign investors. Design/Methodology/Approach: The study employs a descriptive quantitative research design, utilizing secondary data collecting via examination of annual reports or company sustainability reports from the three primary industries that are listed on the Indonesian Stock Exchange (BEI) and frequently engage in voluntary corporate social responsibility. Findings: The analysis's findings demonstrate how the three sectors embrace the idea of social responsibility, albeit with various implementation strategies. The major consumer sector is more focused on the environment, the technological sector focuses on social issues, and the finance sector prioritizes corporate social responsibility from an economic perspective. Implications/Originality/Value: Offers a global perspective on corporate social responsibility (CSR), pertinent data and analysis for investors from different nations, and the potential to grow into a significant global resource for the community at large for comprehending how CSR affects sustainable investment choices in the global market.
