Description
Summary:We provide one of the first analyses of corporate social responsibility (CSR) and firm performance using only annual financial reports. We document a link between corporate financial performance (CFP) and CSR, although this is not always positive.

Furthermore, we provide the first comprehensive study of CSR reporting and link it with CFP in New Zealand.
