Abstract

Corporate social responsibility consists of a firm’s policies and
practices defining its social and environmental commitment
and the instruments to use to deliver on to those policies. While
corporate social responsibility is not a new matter, there does
exist a view that CSR in small developing economies could affect economic growth. However, a large number of studies
have dispelled this ‘myth’ thus stressing the importance of a
socially responsible conduct for firms in a competitive market.
In this paper, we construct and examine a CSR index for Fiji’s
financial and business sector. This index is then examined by
further decomposing it by firm type and index subcomponents.
We then examine if firm’s specific factors affect the level of
CSR index.
