The paper defined CSR as a company’s engagement in social activities outside the firm which may benefit, direct and indirect, stakeholders of the firm. The result shows that there is an increase in CSR expenditure of manufacturing firms; this increase was more visible after the enactment of the Companies Act 2013.
