Project Abstract

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives have become increasingly prevalent, aiming to enhance a company's social and environmental impact. However, measuring the effectiveness of these initiatives in strengthening brand reputation remains a complex challenge. This research develops a multi-stakeholder evaluation framework to assess the impact of CSR efforts on brand reputation. By analyzing diverse stakeholder perspectives and utilizing quantitative and qualitative data, the project aims to offer a comprehensive understanding of the relationship between CSR and brand image. The findings will contribute to evidence-based decision-making for companies, guiding them in designing and implementing CSR initiatives that deliver genuine value for both communities and brand reputation.

By capturing the diverse perspectives of customers, employees, communities, and investors, the project aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the impact of CSR efforts on brand image.This multi-pronged approach utilizes quantitative and qualitative data collection methods to analyze brand performance metrics, social media sentiment, and stakeholder perceptions. Through case studies of specific CSR initiatives across different industries, the project examines the effectiveness of various dimensions of CSR (environmental, social, and governance) in influencing brand reputation for each stakeholder group.The findings of this research will provide valuable insights for businesses seeking to design and implement CSR initiatives that deliver genuine value and contribute to a stronger brand image. The evaluation framework and its practical recommendations will empower companies to navigate the complexities of stakeholder engagement and maximize the positive impact of their CSR efforts.
