Abstract

Internationalisation can profoundly reshape corporate social responsibility (CSR). As companies expand into global markets, they not only seek to boost revenues but also to strengthen their social impact. This study explores the influence of internationalisation on the CSR performance of Peruvian manufacturing firms between 2019 and 2022, drawing on the theoretical frameworks of Johanson and Vahlne, the Uppsala model, and Merubia’s theory of international networks. Using panel data econometric models, this study analyses a sample of 21 manufacturing companies based in Lima. It examines how CSR performance relates to key dimensions of internationalisation, including foreign sales, geographic diversification, and cultural diversification. The findings reveal a significant relationship between internationalisation and CSR, suggesting that firms enhance their operations by integrating responsible and sustainable practices throughout their international expansion.
