This study aimed to summarize the key aspects of 3 research studies on corporate social responsibility (CSR) reporting practices and their relationship to firm financial performance. The first study tested whether standalone CSR reports or inclusion in annual reports led to higher quality disclosure, and whether use of the GRI framework or external assurance improved disclosure quality. Results showed only external assurance improved disclosure quality. The second study analyzed the relationship between perceptions of CSR and financial performance, hypothesizing a tradeoff between social responsibility and profits. Results showed CSR correlated with concurrent financial performance. The third Korean study investigated strategic vs traditional CSR approaches and their influence on financial performance.
