Determining the local community indicators on corporate social responsibilitiy activities (case study in Indonesia)

Abstract

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) in business activities is now a fairly popular trend. This is done as a form of compensation for business activities that affect the activities of the community and the surrounding environment. It is well known that CSR contributes quite significantly to environmental preservation and inhibits climate change. CSR activities use the community development concept, hence local community involvement would determine the performance of the design and implementation of CSR programs. This study aims to analyze the local factors that play a role in providing an impact on the performance of CSR activities. In this paper, two methods were used sequentially, namely in-depth interviews to openly explore prospective factors, and the Delphi method for agreeing the intended factors. CSR officers and Community Development consultants were the object of research. The results show that the strength of values/cultural factors, the strength of actors, the attention of actors in regional development, the strength of actor networks, the participation of community components and local government are factors considered as factors that have an impact on CSR performance.
