CSED is the compliance of social and environmental aspects throughout the operation of the organization. In Bangladesh the level of CSED is very low and totally voluntary. The present study aims to explore the nature determinants of CSED in the Private Commercial Banks in Bangladesh. For this purpose all the listed private commercial banks have been undertaken. The study revealed that there is no significant relationship between the corporate characteristics and the volume of CSED in private commercial banks in Bangladesh.
