Corporate Social Responsibility Disclosure: From the Perspective of Firm's Characteristics

    The study analyzed the combined impact of the firm's characteristics on the level of corporate social responsibility disclosure (CSRD). Data were obtained from the annual reports, and all the available assumptions were fulfilled before running the regression models. The results show that the percentage of shares held by the foreigner shareholders, top management, number of total shareholders, and the presence of independent director has a positive relationship with the level of CSRD. In addition, the percentage of the local shareholders has shown a negative association with the level of CSRD. Nevertheless, the firm's profitability shows no significant result, negating the general perception that profitable firms involve in more corporate social responsibility (CSR) activities. Findings offer a comprehensive picture for policymakers, practitioners, and general corporate beneficiaries. This study insight that the involvement in CSR activities is sensitive to the internal corporate structure and the firm's capabilities
