Abstract
AbstractThis study explores the effect of winning a corporate social responsibility (CSR) Award on firm value. Drawing on the stakeholder value maximization view of stakeholder theory, we analyze a sample of 14,039 US firm-years between 2002 and 2018 and find that winning a CSR Award is value enhancing. We further offer evidence that demonstrates how the CSR dimensions of environmental, social and governance criteria influence the CSR Award–firm value nexus. Our results are supported by a series of robustness tests. As CSR Awards are typically awarded to firms that excel in CSR, our findings are expected to encourage managers to pursue CSR more rigorously so as to attain high firm value.
