Corporate Social Responsibilities (CSR) and Empirical Insight into CSR Practises of\rCompanies Listed on the BIST 100Sönmez, MelihEtikİşletmeÇevre ÇalışmalarıPurpose – The main aim of this study is to evaluate the role, importance, advantages and disadvantages\rof CSR and to understand to what extent the theory of CSR has been converted into the practice in\rcompanies listed on the BIST 100.\rDesign/methodology/approach – This study is based on combination of qualitative and quantitative\rapproaches. Fundamentally, it can be divided into two parts. The first part provides a theoretical\rframework for the main issues of CSR. In this respect, the first part of the study uses library-based\rinformation, such as books, articles and web-sources. The second part analyses the practicability of these\rtheories by making an empirical research about CSR practises of companies listed on the BIST 100. The\rsample size of this study consists of randomly selected 30 companies that are carried out their commercial\ractivities within the different sectors. All information used throughout this study is primary and indicates\rthe 2020/2021 data of these companies on their annual reports or webpages. The BIST 100 is accepted as\rthe main indicator used to measure the market and volume performance of the top 100 shares traded in\rthe BIST. It is an index that is carefully examined by all major investors. The fluctuation expectations of\rthe stock market are made by taking into account the BIST 100 Index. Briefly, the shares of these 100\rcorporations reflect the overall performance of the BIST. Hence, in order to get more realistic results about\rthe success of corporations on disclosing level of CSR, the BIST 100 Index has been applied in this research.\rFindings – The finding of this study showed that the CSR helps to increase the number of long-term\rinvestors in financial markets, to improve the quality of products and services in corporations, and to\rreduce social, environmental, ethical problems in society. Due to these advantages of the CSR, the\rempirical research also proved that the application process of the CSR projects seems to reach a\rsatisfactory level for listed companies on the BIST 100 on a voluntary basis. However, the points to take\rinto consideration are the availability of human rights and anti-corruption issues because this type of the\rCSR projects seems to be problematic for the selected corporations. Additionally, it can be useful to create\ra competent authority, which will be responsible for monitoring and supervising all the CSR projects.\rDiscussion – When CSR is examined in the first place; it can be seen as a new burden that increases the\rcosts for corporations. Additionally, defenders of the traditional economics theory accept CSR as violating\robligation to shareholders and covering the wrongdoings of corporations. Yet, it also provides many\radvantages in terms of companies, financial markets and societies. The most important benefits of CSR\rcan be listed as follows; it may increase the number of both national and international investors; thus, it\rmakes positive contributions to the long-term profitability of a company; it may improve the quality of\rproducts, the brand value and competitive power of corporations by having a positive impact on the\rperformance of employees; it also helps to protect environment, to care human-rights issues and to\restablish good relations with non-governmental organizations.2021Articlehttps://rdlopen.rawdatalibrary.net/r/ebyu/18486https://doi.org/10.20491/isarder.2021.1345enİşletme Araştırmaları Dergisiinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessinfo:eu-repo/semantics/articlehttps://ebyu-rdlopen.rawdatalibrary.net/tr/items/ebyu/18486
