Background Information and Rationale After several crises around the world, capital markets and consumer markets have lost confidence in efficiency. As a result, managers face the challenge of improving corporate image or reliability (Marin & Ruiz, 2007), to solve the problem of such a decline in reliability, companies are focusing on and strengthening corporate social responsibility (CSR). Corporate social responsibility is to demonstrate business management activities, exchange with stakeholders, and corporate activities related to society and the environment that arise from pursuing sustainable businesses (Carroll, 1999). Nevertheless, in the '90s, the corporate social responsibility began to be used pragmatically as a business term (Carroll, 1999).
Over the past decade, in most industries, companies have invested and made efforts to develop corporate social responsibility with the aim of improving the intangible characteristics of the brand image (McDonald & Rundle - Thiele, 2008). For example, 90 percent of Fortune 500 companies already carry out their social responsibilities and more than 80 percent of them post their activities on their websites. This trend is expanding to most developed countries or to many developing countries (KPMG, 2011). The company's ability to improve the company's image, reputation and trust depends on the degree to which the company's social responsibility is consistent with its stakeholders' expectations for the sector (form) of corporate social responsibility performed by the company (Dawkins & Lewis, 2003; McDonald's & Hung Lai, 2011).
In this regard, scholars said that resources should be distributed not only to society but also to stakeholders such as customers, employees, investors, suppliers, strategic partners, and governments (Poolthong & Mandachita, 2009). This is because when stakeholders' expectations of corporate social responsibility coincide, firms can generally increase their friendly attitudes from stakeholders (Vassilikopoul, Siomucos, & Mylonakis, 2005). Conversely, failure to get stakeholders to understand the means of corporate social responsibility results in 1 LUAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.com inefficient corporate social responsibility implementation (Augger, Deviney, & Louviere, 2007). As a result, retail banks pay a high percentage of the costs associated with corporate social responsibility to improve their reputations and improve stakeholder, particularly their customer relationships (McDonald & Rundle-Thiele, 2008).
Banks and financial companies implement corporate responsibilities through microcredit, environmental funds, and credit transfer programs (Prior & Argandoffia, 2009). For example, in India, the social responsibility of the banking industry is focused on education, balanced growth, health, environmental marketing, and customer satisfaction (Narwal, 2007). Over the past 25 years, the Spanish savings bank has spent 20 to 30 percent of its revenue annually on social contribution activities, and the combined social responsibility index of companies in 32 major banks in Europe, the United States and the Pacific countries has improved significantly since 2000 (Scholtens, 2009). Corporate social responsibility and sustainable development of the business environment cannot be left society.
The two are interdependent. Social responsibility as the driving force of social development leads companies to become responsible global and local neighbors in a rapidly changing world. The most widespread corporate issue facing change is corporate social responsibility (Engle, 2007). The World Sustainable Development Committee (WBCSD, 1999) called the social responsibility of companies as the ethical activities of companies continuing to improve the quality of life for workers and their families and contribute to local or national economic development.
The EC Green Paper (EC, 2001) incorporates social and environmental concerns by allowing companies to voluntarily operate business or interact with stakeholders in the Promoting a European Framework for CSR, the Act was defined as sustainable management. Concepts related to social responsibility relate to sustainable development. According to ISO 26000, sustainable development refers to a company's desire for the environment on Earth so that it does not pose a risk to 2 LUAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.com future generations. The link between corporate social responsibility and sustainable development is to ease recent challenges and use resources efficiently.
If sustainable development is viewed as a result of current activities, regardless of the future of the enterprise, social responsibility is primarily aimed at minimizing risk exposures from interactions between economic, regional and natural environmental entities and maximizing synergies (Hediger, 2010). In Korea, companies and public institutions have been publishing the Sustainability Report (SR) in accordance with the global guideline of the Global Report Initiative (GRI) since 2003. According to the financial sector, banks have been publishing annual reports on six areas, including academic, educational, seminar, physical education, environment and global, since June 2006. Corporate social responsibility activities by financial institutions are still in the early stages of internal and external evaluation and detailed discussions.
Corporate social responsibility activities are limited to charitable, environmental, and institutional financial support, and the results of assessment of performance are not well received as they are often only formal. The lack of social responsibility activities by domestic financial institutions can be seen as a lack of awareness and practice that financial institutions develop with society only when their social responsibility activities harmonize with the essential characteristics of financial activities in overall management activities. It can be said that financial institutions recognize corporate social responsibility activities as a concept of cost by emphasizing only philanthropic and environmental aspects, and that they focus only on the visible performance system of productivity improvement and profit creation as a competitive indicator to maximize their business performance. In the case of financial institutions, the emergence of new technologies such as globalization, deregulation, financial innovation, and FinTech, which have changed the traditional distribution channel of financial services, makes it difficult for financial institutions to differentiate themselves, and consumers are not aware of 3 LUAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.com real differentiation in products and services.
On the other hand, in an increasingly competitive global environment, corporate social responsibility is becoming the most important strategic factor in improving business performance through marketing differentiation strategies. Local financial institutions are in the early stages of developing and implementing strategic corporate social responsibility activities that will maximize corporate performance through corporate social responsibility activities.
