Abstract

The current study enhances the empirical knowledge of the different interdependencies between corporate social responsibility (CSR) mechanisms and corporate financial performance, (CSP) from an interesting group of support services for businesses in Romania. We observe the trends of the financial indicators reported by companies that developed support services for other businesses and explore interesting correlations between the investigated indicators with the PCA analysis. The results point to a strong causality link between CSP and CSR, which encourages further analysis in other operational sectors.
