Testing the research hypothesis in this study using panel data regression model analysis. The analysis techniques carried out in this study are descriptive statistical tests (heteroscedasticity test and autocorrelation test) and hypothesis testing. Based on the results of the three preliminary tests in determining the panel data regression model, this study uses a fixed effect regression model to test the relationship between variables in the regression model. The analysis results prove that gender diversity of directors and audit committees has a positive effect on corporate social responsibility. Meanwhile, the educational background of directors and independent commissioners has no effect on corporate social responsibility. In addition, the nationality diversity of directors has a negative effect on corporate social responsibility.
