’ Corporate Social Performance, Innovation, and Financial Performance’
Abstract: The link between corporate social performance (CSP) and corporate financial performance (CFP) has been the focus of a large number of studies. However, there is little research on the role of innovation in this linkage. This study is conducted to examine the interrelationships between innovation, CSP and CFP. Based on a sample of large companies from various countries, we find evidence of a virtuous cycle between CSP and innovation. The results do not confirm a mediating or moderating role of innovation in the CSP-CFP link.
