Article Abstract:

The degree of corporate social responsiveness (CSR) was found to be related to a company's willingness to reveal financial data after analyzing CSR indicators such as charitable donations, number of women executives, number of minority executives, disclosure of social programs, Sullivan Principle ratings and donations to political action committees. Therefore, the ethical principles of executives determine many apparently unrelated company decisions.
