Patricia Crifo, Antoine Rebérioux investigate the relationships between corporate governance and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). The underlying intuition is that governance factors are major determinants of CSR policies and extra-financial performance. More precisely, they identify three main factors that determine the strength of CSR engagement at the firm level: the structure of equity ownership (identity of shareholders), the composition and structure of board of directors, and the regulatory framework on corporate governance and CSR. The authors show how evolutions regarding corporate governance over the three previous decades have paved the way and shaped the rise of CSR.
