Abstract

The paper presents the results of the empirical study of 15 largest Russian public companies in different sectors of economy with the most developed models of corporate social responsibility (CSR). The aim of the study is to explore how social investments affect Russian firms’ market value and to compare the types of risks that the sample companies considered as important areas of investments in CSR. The findings showed a positive correlation between company investments in creating better working conditions, occupational health and safety, environment-related activities and company capitalization. In the majority of cases, these two factors make a major impact on minimizing company risks. At the same time it was found out that company reputational risks are undervalued.
