| dc.description.abstract | The propagation of financial scandals has incited institutions of regulation to propose laws and mechanisms of monitoring. These scandals and fraud are referred as a decay in business morality (Chih et al., 2010). Scarcities of resources, global warming, greenhouse effect, working conditions and treatment of employees have focused the attention on the environmental and social problems that recognizes civil society. This has exacerbated the focus on corporate social responsibility in recent years among academics, consumers, governments and investors. The world is now aware of the importance of ethical and philanthropic responsibilities as well as the management of economic activity. Hence, there is a need to satisfy expectations of not only shareholders but all stakeholders to ensure the long-term firm sustainability. This paper seeks to explore the relationship between corporate governance and corporate social responsibility for a sample of 65 French companies listed on the SBF 120 index for the period 2010–2014. The result of our estimate shows that the performance of corporate social responsibility is positively influenced by the size of the board, the presence of institutional investors, and negatively by the proportion held by the majority shareholder. These results suggest that firms may improve social performance by adopting best practices of corporate governance that mitigate unethical behavior. | |
