Beyond Profit: The Role of Social Responsibility in Building Corporate Reputation

Author(s) Mrs Asha Sagar Lipare, Mrs Anuradha Ganesh Sharma
Country India
Abstract The business environment of the day does not just involve financial gain to be considered a successful company, but also relates to ethical behaviour, sustainability and trust of the stakeholders. This paper is a purely secondary data analysis on the importance of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) in developing and enhancing corporate image. The paper uses the CSR reports, sustainability indexes, government databases, and scholarly literature to discuss how socially responsible initiatives can improve brand value and confidence of the stakeholders. The research, based on the approaches like Stakeholder Theory, Legitimacy Theory, and the Triple Bottom Line, emphasizes that those companies who incorporate the concept of CSR into their strategic core (instead of considering it an extrinsic philanthropy) experience higher consumer loyalty, increased employee satisfaction, and better credibility with investors. The paper provides the strongest drivers of reputational capital through the analysis of the secondary sources which are the CSR reports of Tata Group, Unilever, ITC, and Infosys with transparency, environmental accountability, and community engagement being the strongest. Results indicate that CSR does not just alleviate reputational risks, but it also can be viewed as a long-term investment in trust and goodwill. Finally, the paper gives the conclusion that sustainable reputation management in the era of increased social awareness lies in the authenticity of a company in its ethical governance and value co-creation, making CSR a fundamental aspect of the contemporary corporate identity.
Keywords Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), Corporate Reputation, Stakeholder Theory, Sustainability and Ethics, Triple Bottom Line.
