Abstract
As more and more multi-national companies expand their operations globally, their responsibilities extend beyond not only
the economic motive of profitability but also other social and environmental factors. The objective of this article is to
examine the impact of national culture and geographic environment on firms’ corporate social performance (CSP). Empirical
tests are based on a global CSP database of companies from 49 countries. Results show that the Hofstede’s cultural dimensions
are significantly associated with CSP. In addition, European companies are found to out-perform other regions and countries
in CSP.
