Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has become a relevant factor in the way the market perceives a company’s reputation and can have an influence on investors’ trust. The purpose of this thesis is to synthesize research around corporate social responsibility by assessing the positives and negatives of CSR as well as how these efforts can enhance or diminish the transparency of investor and manager behaviors that involve CSR.
