Corporate Social Responsibility and Its Impact on Corporate Profitability: Some Evidences from Selected Private Commercial Banks in Bangladesh

Abstract

This paper is an endeavor to investigate the linkage between Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and Profitability. The researcher has considered CSR as an independent variable and Return on Asset (ROA), Return on Equity (ROE) and Earning Per Share (EPS) as dependent variables. Firstly, the researcher has presented the CSR activities of different selected banks from year 2007 to 2010. Secondly, a simple regression analysis is performed to investigate the relationship between dependent and independent variables. The study found that there is a significant negative relationship between CSR and ROA. The study also found that there is no relationship among ROE, EPS and CSR.
