Most of the available literature on Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) focuses on developed countries. Researchers in the past decade, however, have been interested to study CSR in emerging markets. This paper reports the results of a survey conducted among small and medium automotive parts and accessories manufacturers in the City of Manila. CSR performance was studied using measures under three dimensions: environment, labor, and community. Results show that most of the companies employ different CSR activities. Results also present that performance of such activities are generally low. Moreover, three of the nine measures used in the study are significantly correlated, suggesting that CSR in the automotive parts and accessories manufacturers in Manila is more incidental than structural.
