Abstract

This article studies the equity principle in conducting social and environmental responsibility of the Palm Oil Plantation Company in Aceh Province. The Equity principle is clearly stated in The Book of Civil Code Article 1339 and Article 74 Paragraph (2) Law Number 40 Year 2007 of the Limited Liability Company. Concretisation of the equity principle in implementing social and environmental responsibility is mandated in UUPT (Laws of a Limited Company), Plantation Statute, and of State-Owned Enterprise Laws (UU BUMN), and some Qanuns (Local Regulations) of a district/city in Aceh. Moreover, the concretisation of the equity principle of the Palm Oil Plantation Company in implementing social and environmental responsibility programs is in consideration of the financial capability of the company and the propriety applied in the Acehnese Community. The concretisation of the equity principle in the community is that social and environmental responsibility is based on the need for community and based on local community tradition. The concretisation of equity principles can be implemented based on a fair agreement between the company and the community in order to achieve justice for all parties.

This article studies the equity principle in conducting social and
environmental responsibility of the Palm Oil Plantation Company in
Aceh Province. The Equity principle is clearly stated in The Book of
Civil Code Article 1339 and Article 74 Paragraph (2) Law Number 40
Year 2007 of the Limited Liability Company. Concretisation of the
equity principle in implementing social and environmental
responsibility is mandated in UUPT (Laws of a Limited Company),
Plantation Statute, and of State-Owned Enterprise Laws (UU BUMN),
and some Qanuns (Local Regulations) of a district/city in Aceh.
Moreover, the concretisation of the equity principle of the Palm Oil
Plantation Company in implementing social and environmental
responsibility programs is in consideration of the financial capability
of the company and the propriety applied in the Acehnese Community.
The concretisation of the equity principle in the community is that
social and environmental responsibility is based on the need for
community and based on local community tradition. The
concretisation of equity principles can be implemented based on a fair
agreement between the company and the community in order to
achieve justice for all parties.

Background of the Problem
This research aims to discuss the concretisation of the equity principle in the implementation
of the Social and Environmental Responsibility of the Palm Oil Plantation Company in the
Province of Aceh. The Equity principle is the action in accordance with appropriateness and
fairness according to the values applied in the local community. The determination of the
relationship is stipulated by the sense of social justice, thereby the equity principle has to be
maintained because with this principle the determination of the relationship is decided by the
sense of justice in society (Mariam Darus Bardulzaman, 2001: 89).
Wery considers that propriety comprises all concerned that can be comprehended either
intellectually or emotionally (Wery, 1990: 9). Principle is dealing closely with the provisions
of the nature of one required agreement to achieve justice, tradition, as well as regulations.
The Equity principle is stated in Article 1339 Book of Civil Code that “The agreement is not
only bound for certain issues explicitly set in it, but also for the issues in accordance with the
nature of the agreement, obliged by propriety, tradition, and statute”. This means that the
agreement is not applied only based on the statement of an agreement, but also based on the
nature of agreement that is obliged by propriety, tradition, or statute.
The Equity principle is derived from the billijkheid principle in legal agreement which is the
principle that regulates the position, right, and responsibility between the parties adhered to a
balance agreement, such as the sale of land between the seller and the buyer as contemplated
in the land certificate (Rusmiyati & Antara Innaka, 2018: 17). Every person is obliged to
have good intentions in implementing the agreement based on the norms of equity (Novalia
Arnita Simamora, 2018: 94). The Equity principle is also mandated in the Regulation Article
74 Law No. 40 Year 2007, on a Limited Company.
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) empowers the capacity in establishing corporate
building to lead the certainty of a going concern company including sensitivity (respect) of
the systematic adoption of cultures (local wisdom) to company business strategy, including
employees, society, and government (Nor Hadi, 2010: 47). Howard R Bowen (1953) defines
CSR as the obligation of the company to formulate policy, to make the decision, or to take
the action needed in terms of the objective and community values. The definition is updated
by Keith Davis (1960) that “The decision and business action decided due to the reasons, or
at least the half, exceed the economic interest or direct technique of company” (Totok
Mardikanto, 2014: 84). Corporate Social Responsibility is the action in accordance with the
ethical consideration of the company that is led to improve the economy and quality life of
the community (Nor Hadi, 2010: 48). Corporate Social Responsibility is a legal responsibility
whereby it becomes an obligation to the company (Umar Hasan, 2015: 1).

Corporate social and environmental responsibility in Indonesia is regulated in Article 74 Law
Number 40 Year 2007 concerning a Limited Company. The regulation of Social and
Environmental Responsibility (TJSL) must not contradict free trade principles in accordance
with the frame of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) or World Trade
Organisation (WTO) (Taufiqurrahman, 2013: 45).
The determination of propriety and fairness in terms of social responsibility is stated in
Article 74 Paragraph (2) UUPT abstractly. It is believed that the determination of propriety
and fairness is incompatible because the initial purpose is to normalise the stipulation of
Corporate Social Responsibility contemplated in the Constitution so that the preservation of
environmental function is achieved (Yeti Sumiyati, 2015: 401). Therefore, the concretisation
of the equity principle in implementing corporate social and environmental responsibility
based on values, norms, and the cultures of the local community is needed.
The concept of propriety in terms of Social and Environmental Responsibility (TJSL) is
company policy that is adjusted based on financial capabilities of a company, and risk
potency that results in social and environmental responsibility of a company that has to be
taken into account by a company based on activities carried on by the company, whereas this
does not decrease the obligation of the company mandated in the Statute concerning the
business activity carried out by the company (Sulaeman, 2016). The implementation of the
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) principle in the future refers to the concept of
sustainable development, besides, CSR combines shareholders' and stakeholders’ interests as
well as considers local wisdom of the community around the company (Marianne Magda
Ketaren, 2014: 275).
CSR in a developing country has developed as part of significance science that maintains the
nuance and typicality as the platform for the scientific generation (Dima Jamali and Charlotte
Karam, 2018: 50) and the more disclosure CSR, the better profitability of the company will
be (Elena Platonova et.al, 2018: 466).
Indonesia is a developing country as well as one of the countries that produce the biggest
palm oil production along with Malaysia, Thailand, Colombia, and Nigeria. In accordance
with the regulations, the Palm Oil Plantation Company is obliged to conduct Social and
Environmental Responsibility for the community around the plantation company.
The number of Palm Oil Plantation Company in 2017 is 27 companies that are located in
thirteen districts/cities in Aceh Province. The Palm Oil Plantation Company is a State-
Ownership Company (BUMN) and a Limited Company (private company)
(http://aceh.bps.go.id.). The research conducted in some districts/cities revealed that the
existence of the Palm Oil Plantation Company in Aceh has not yet implemented TJSL based

on the propriety in community; it is proven by the existence of poor community around Palm
Oil Plantation (http://aceh.tribunnews.com/2016), threatening the existence of peat swamp
forest and land disputes between customary community and the palm oil plantation company
(http://walhiaceh.or.id).
In reality, the Palm Oil Plantation Company, in accordance with the implementation of social
and environmental responsibility, just conducts the routine programs and sudden charity so it
cannot reflect community fairness around the company. Consequently, the concretisation
concept of the equity principle in implementing social and environmental responsibility is
needed to be formulated that accommodates the interests of all parties. Therefore, the analysis
of the concretisation of the equity principle is essential in implementing TJSL by the Palm
Oil Plantation Company in Aceh Province.
Research Methodology
The study employed a juridical normative method by adopting secondary data as the main
data of research, and field data as supporting data. Legal resources were gathered from
primary, secondary and tertiary legal resources. The data collecting technique was conducted
based on interviewing the interviewees. The data were analysed qualitatively, by establishing
the arguments (legal reasoning) based on legal philosophy as well as legal theory, and other
legal principles.
Previous Study
A previous study is previous research which becomes a guideline of the article that will be
later on discussed. Some previous studies, related to the equity principle and social and
environmental responsibility are as follows:
Novalia Arnita Simamora, et.al. (2015) express that in implementing the agreement, every
person is obliged to possess good intention in conducting the agreement referred to the equity
norm (NovaliaArnitaSimamora, et.al., 2015: 94).
Marasamin Ritonga, et.al. (2016), state that the equity principle is implemented by a Judge to
guarantee justice for a community whose land is traversed by a cable channel network of
extra high voltage in order to composite and to give indemnity of land provision that is given
by the PLN (State Electricity Company). The rule of law regulates “appropriate indemnity”,
and the formulation of laws has to be prioritised to achieve a sense of justice (Marasamin
Ritonga, et.al., 2016: 12).
International Journal of Innovation, Creativity and Change. www.ijicc.net
Volume 12, Issue 5, 2020
427
Lorenzo Sacconi & Marco Faillo (2010) explain that the obedience of social norms is a self-
empowerment issue and endogenous motivation to do self-adjustment relevantly, not only
with social norms but also with other institutions (Lorenzo Sacconi & Marco Faillo, 2010:
117).
Dima Jamali and Charlotte Karam (2018) point out that complex CSR is contextualised and
locally formulated by multi-level factors, as well as the boundary between face to face
business-community that is applicable, comprehended, and changeable. Accordingly, it is
developed intensively in developing countries.
Sulaeman (2016) explains that equity concept in social and environmental responsibility is
company policy, which is adjusted based on the financial capability of company, and the risk
potency that leads to the social and environmental responsibility, that has to be obliged to the
company in accordance with business activities carried out by the company which does not
decrease its responsibility contemplated in the Statute regarding activities carried out by the
company. The determination of the budget on Social and Environmental Responsibility
(TJSL) is stipulated by the company based on the profit earned by the company. Therefore,
propriety is considered as the appropriateness and fairness of good intention of the company
in implementing TJSL.
Elena Platonova, et.al, (2018) in her study expresses that a positive relationship is significant
between the disclosure of CSR and the work performance of the Sharia Bank in GCC
countries.
Armando García-Chiang (2018) explains that participation of the private sector leads to the
need for evaluating the social and environmental impact of the company activity on the
surrounding area. The objective is to project the social and environmental responsibility
scheme of the company. It is found that the participation of a private oil company in a CSR
scheme can give a contribution to local development, but the implementation of CSR cannot
imply the impact of local development.
Oana & Staiculescu (2014) state that CSR is the way the company promotes its production
quality. The rational allocation of CSR principles in the auto mobile industry shows prime
quality with low operational costs. So, every company is interested in promoting its quality
and equal social responsibility as two prominent components in ensuring a sustainable future
for everyone.
Jumadiah, et.al, (2017) in their research state that the CSR program in Aceh Barat District is
conducted based on local wisdom of the local community. Jumadiah, et.al. (2018) point out
International Journal of Innovation, Creativity and Change. www.ijicc.net
Volume 12, Issue 5, 2020
428
that the programs implemented by the company in Aceh province are based on cultural and
religious values of the Acehnese community which is based on Sharia Law.
According to the previous study which has been discussed above, the different analysis is
found in an article with title “Equity principle in implementing social and environmental
responsibility of Palm Oil Plantation Company in Province of Aceh”. The differences from
previous studies are:
a. The CSR concept in Indonesia currently is based on the propriety from company financial
capability only; it does not accommodate the propriety based on the local community.
Meanwhile, this article discusses the concretisation of the equity principle in conducting
social and environmental responsibility which accommodates the appropriateness of
company and community. Therefore, this is a different issue from previous studies.
b. The main point in this analysis is based on community values in implementing social and
environmental responsibility that is going to be conducted in Indonesia so that the
implementation of the social and environmental responsibility principle can be conducted
and is beneficial for both the company and the community.
Discussion
Concretisation of the Equity Principle in Accordance with Regulations of Social and
Environmental Responsibility
The Equity principle (in Dutch; redekelijheid en billijkheid) is the principle that leads to
justice which emphasises the positive side of good intention and ignores the subjective side of
good intention. The Equity principle has become the legal norm which is explicitly stated in
Indonesian Law. One of the principles stated in Regulations Article 74 Paragraph (2) UUPT
(Laws of Limited Company), is the equity principle.
Concretisation of the equity principle in Article 74 Paragraph(2) UUPT, defines that the
implementation of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is based on the company capability
which is relocated and calculated by the Company based on company capability. The
propriety in conducting social and environmental responsibility has to be adjusted based on
company capability, that the programs of social and environmental responsibility are planned
and budgeted initially, so the program can be implemented totally afterwards.
The result of the study shows that the Government of Aceh Barat District attempts to improve
the welfare and prosperity of the community as well as to preserve environmental function by
formulating partnership regulation among local government, businessmen, and the

community. Qanun Number 10 in the Year 2015 concerning social and environmental
responsibility, tends to improve community welfare as well as to preserve environmental
function. The aim of social and environmental responsibility is to improve community
empowerment, quality of life, and environmental preservation that is useful for the the
government, the company, the surrounding community, and the community in general
(Article 3 Qanun Barat Aceh Regency Number 10 Year 2015).
Besides being obliged to implement social and environmental responsibility, the company
also has the right to have protection and guarantee of legal certainty in conducting its
business activity and gains self-esteem from the district government (Article14 Paragraph of
(1) Qanun Aceh Barat District Number 10 Year 2015). In order to enable the company to
implement social and environmental responsibility programs, the district government
formulates a social and environmental responsibility company forum (FTJSL) that is
responsible for main tasks and coordination function, supervision, controlling, and evaluating
the implementation of TJSL (Article15 Qanun of Aceh Barat District Number 10 Year 2015).
Concretisation of the equity principle is stated in Article 5 Paragraph (3), Article 7, Article 8,
Article 14 Paragraph (1) and Article15 Qanun Number 10 Year 2015.
This research shows that the Government of Aceh Utara District has made regulations about
social and environmental responsibility in the form of qanun. It aims to achieve the prosperity
and welfare as well as the preservation of environmental function, which is an integral part of
the government administration in Aceh Utara District, including business as partnership and
subject to laws that have social and environmental responsibility in order to empower the
community by utilising the activity that is conducted well and synergically.
This study indicates that the government of Aceh Timur is one of the Districts that has made
the regulation of the implantation of social and environmental responsibility; it aims to
achieve legal certainty and to synergize the Social and Environmental Responsibility
Program that is conducted for regional development. The regulation made by the Government
of Aceh Timur District is Qanun Number 12 Year 2016 of Social and Environmental
Responsibility of Company. Article 6 Paragraph (1) Qanun Number 12 Year 2016 states that
the program of social and environmental responsibility of a company (TJSLP) comprises of
social and environmental development, small business partnership and cooperative, and a
direct program for the community.
Based on Article 6 Paragraph (1) point c, the programs that are directly aimed at the
community are grants, awards, subsidies, social assistance, social service, and social
protection (Article 9 Paragraph (1) Qanun of Aceh Timur District Number 12 Year 2016).

Concretisation of the equity principle in Qanun Number 12 Year 2016 as stated in Article 9
Paragraph (1) is a direct program that is directly addressed to the community which is grants,
educational costs, subsidies, social service, social assistance, and social protection.
A company located in Aceh Timur District is obliged to implement social and environmental
responsibility by emphasising the interest of all parties which are a company, government,
community, and environmental preservation. If the company does not implement social and
environmental responsibility, the company will get sanctioned in a warning letter, activity
restrictions, and revocation of a business permit.
Concretisation of the Equity Principle of Palm Oil Plantation Company In Province of
Aceh
The implementation of social and environmental responsibility by the Palm Oil Plantation
Company is to manage the company well, based on the principles of good corporate
governance. The implementation of social and environmental responsibility is to minimise
the problems happening between the Palm Oil Plantation Company and the community as
well as the environment around the company. In implementing the programs of social and
environmental responsibility both companies (private limited company and PTPN I (State
Plantation Limited Company)) have a different legal basis and budget resources.
The State Plantation Limited Company I (PTPN I) is located in some districts/capitals in
Aceh including, the City of Langsa, Aceh Utara District, Aceh Tamiang District, Aceh Barat
District, Aceh Timur District, and Aceh Selatan District. The PTPN I Langsa is the head
office of the central administration which oversees other PTPN I in Aceh. The PTPN I
Langsa has the authority to make management policies to be implemented by the PTPN I in
other areas.
According to Abdul Mutahalib, this study shows that the implementation of social and
environmental responsibility of the PTPN I Cot Girek, Aceh Utara, has to be approved by
President Director of the PTPN I. This happens due to the PTPN I Cot Girek Aceh Utara
being a unit. Therefore, the programs cannot be implemented directly by the plantation unit.
The implementation of social and environmental responsibility of the State Plantation
Limited Company I (PTPN) cannot be conducted maximally yet, due to the decreasing of
productivity lately which caused the declining of profit. Thus, the social and environmental
responsibility planned cannot be implemented totally. According to the interviewee, the
implementation of social and environmental responsibility of the PTPN I refers to the
instruction of the SOE Minister although some local regulations which are in the District of
Qanun cannot be implemented, due to the PTPN I being a BUMN (State-Owned Enterprise)
which has it’s own regulations. Some programs based on the instruction of the SOE Minister

has been conducted by the PTPN I Aceh which is natural disaster, education and training,
health improvement, public facility, worship facility, natural conservation, social and
community, and some other community activities based on community request. The
following table presents the plan and the realisation of the Partnership and Environmental
Development Program (PKBL) of the PTPN I Aceh.

The result of study at the State Plantation Limited Company I (PTPN I) located in Aceh
Timur District, shows that the implementation of social and environmental responsibility in
2017 has not yet been conducted due to the funds having not been disbursed because the
company faced some financial difficulties in 2015, and had to pay its debt. The
implementation of social and environmental responsibility is based on the profit of 2%. In
2017 the activity was focused on community and environment which is building the mosque,
and mushalla (prayer room), however the program was terminated temporarily because of the
earthquake in Pidie Jaya, so the assistance for the surrounding community was diverted for
Pidie Jaya (information from Head Office).

The study indicates that the implementation of social and environmental responsibility in the
Aceh Barat District has been conducted from 2015 to the present. In 2015, there were 15
private companies in the Aceh Barat District that participated in implementing social and
environmental responsibility by allocating the budget of 22 billion IDR. In 2016 there were
15 private companies that participated in implementing social and environmental
responsibility by allocating the budget of 4.1 billion IDR, furthermore, in 2017 budget
allocation was 4.9 billion IDR. The realisation in 2016 was about 76 percent that is expected
to be increased in 2017 by good management on target of the CSR budget and focuses on
community empowermen,t for instance economic empowerment, health, education, and
social culture (Regional Planning Body, Profile CSR District of Aceh Barat, 2017).
According to Sri Eria Murti, the companies in Aceh Barat have conducted social and
environmental responsibility in collaboration with the government and community. The
planning program of social and environmental responsibility is conducted by the Social and
Environmental Responsibility Forum of the Company (Article11 Qanun of Aceh Barat
District Number 10 Year 2015). The forum is responsible to do supervision, coordination,
controlling, and evaluation of social and environmental responsibility of the environment
(Article11 Qanun of Aceh Barat District Number 10 Year 2015). The formulation of the
Social and Environmental Responsibility Forum as stipulated previously is aligned with the
regulations stated in Article16 District Qanun of Aceh Barat Number 10 Year 2015. The
formation of social and environmental forums is essential in every area in order to plan social
and environmental responsibility harmoniously and efficiently.
In 2017, the implementation of social and environmental responsibility in the Aceh Barat
District is conducted by 14 (fourteen) companies with the total budget was 22.018.883.454
IDR (twenty billion, eighteen million, eight hundred eighty-three thousand forty hundred
forty-five IDR). The budget was allocated for some programs which were education, health,
environment, economic and Micro and Medium-Scale Business (UMKM), social and public
facility, worship facility and religious facility, culture, sport, and natural disaster.
Concretisation of the Equity Principle in Terms of Social and Environmental
Responsibility in Accordance with Community Fairness in the Province of Aceh
Based on the study conducted in some districts/cities in the community around the Palm Oil
Plantation Company, the community expresses their opinion regarding the implementation of
social and environmental responsibility conducted by the company.
The district of Aceh Tamiang has applied a local regulation that regulates social and
environmental responsibility which is Qanun Number 7 Year 2014 of social and
environmental responsibility of a Limited Liability Company. The number of Palm Oil
International Journal of Innovation, Creativity and Change. www.ijicc.net
Volume 12, Issue 5, 2020
433
Plantation Companies in the District of Aceh Tamiang is 27 companies comprising of a State-
Owned Company (PT.Perkebunan Nusantara I) and private companies (Limited Companies).
In reality, it is not all palm oil plantation companies in the District of Aceh Tamiang which
conducts social and environmental responsibility, although the local regulations have
explicitly and strictly regulated about social and environmental responsibility.
Concretisation of the equity principle according to the community is that the implementation
of social and environmental responsibility has to be based on community demands, whereas
the programs conducted are achievable and beneficial for the community.
According to the explanation above, the concretisation of the equity principle in
implementing social and environmental responsibility by the Palm Oil Plantation Company in
the Province of Aceh can be achieved by considering the following issues:
1. The propriety is adjusted according to the applied regulations.
2. The propriety is adapted based on community traditions either cultural tradition or
tradition in sharia law (‘urf).
3. The propriety is based on the financial capability of the company.
4. The propriety is based on community needs.
5. The propriety is based on government programs.
Referring to the issues above, therefore the concretisation of the equity principle in
implementing social and environmental responsibility by the Palm Oil Plantation Company in
the Province of Aceh can be attained by deliberation and consensus between community and
company. It is done to meet the agreement and propriety between the need and the aspiration
of the community and the financial capability of the company, thus the propriety is
considered to be appropriate according to both community and company. Propriety is called
the Propriety of Deliberation.
This concept is based on legal ideals stated in the fourth principle of Pancasila (foundational
philosophical theory of the Indonesian State): “Democratic, led by the wisdom of the
representatives of the people”. It is also based on the fifth principle of Pancasila” Social
justice is for all Indonesians”. Therefore, it is considered that the propriety of deliberation is
formulated based on the legal personality of the nation, which contains norms, traditions, and
values of Indonesian society. The implementation of social and environmental responsibility
is in accordance with the need of both company and community, which can be achieved by
deliberation and concession so that justice for the community, company, and environment is
accomplished.

Conclusion
Concretisation of the equity principle on social and environmental responsibility is explicitly
stated in the regulations of UUPT (Laws of Limited Company), UUPA (Acehnese
Government Regulation), Plantation Law, UU BUMN (Laws of SOE), as well as in some
Qanuns of Districts/Cities in Aceh. Concretisation of the equity principle by the Palm Oil
Plantation Company in the province of Aceh, is brought about by conducting social and
environmental responsibility programs according to the company propriety and considering
the propriety of the Acehnese Community. Concretisation of the equity principle in the
community is the implementation of social and environmental responsibility that has to be
adjusted with the need of the community and the propriety of the Acehnese community.
Concretisation of the equity principles in implementing social and environmental
responsibility in Aceh Province is based on the deliberation propriety between company and
community so that consequently justice is achieved for all parties.

Abstract Mexico’s 2008 energy reform established that Petróleos Mexicanos and its subsidiary entities could contract with individuals or corporate entities for labor and the provision of required services to improve the implementation of its activities. The reform has allowed private companies to become more involved in the process of oil extraction and to implement Integrated Petroleum Exploitation Contracts. This participation of the private sector has brought with it the need to evaluate its activities’ social and environmental impact on the territory. One of these evaluations’ main objectives is to project Corporate Social Responsibility schemes. We can see from experience that it is possible for private oil companies’ participation in CSR schemes to contribute to local development, but the application of CSR actions does not in itself imply an impact on local development. This article aims to show the case of a pioneering experience in Mexico concerning the link between academics and the segment of oil companies that try to assess their activities’ social impact and implement Corporate Social Responsibility schemes under federal regulations. In order to achieve it, a work team belonging to Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana has developed a methodology that uses quantitative and qualitative data. The main results of this case study show us that it is necessary to develop appropriate approximation and assessment methodologies for implementing Corporate Social Responsibility actions in each territory in order to stimulate local development. Moreover, there are two essential conditions for actually achieving results for local development by investing in communities within the context of CSR actions in oil-production regions. The first of these conditions is a ‘territorialization’ of the proposals, and the second is the creation of different types of CSR actions. These last two conclusions are also challenges that Mexico’s fledgling private oil sector will have to solve in the very near future with the objective of improving its relations within the social and environmental context where it carries out its activities.

Regulatory on the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) by mandatory in Indonesia as stipulated in Article 74 of Law No. 40/2007 on the Limited Liability Company (hereafter the Company Law) raises a contradiction. Those who agree argue that the company is not solely for profit, but more than that are participating in social issues and the preservation of the environment within the framework of sustainable development. Conversely, those who disagree view that social issues and the environment are the full responsibility of state. The involvement of a corporation in social and environmental activities is voluntary. Verdict of the Indonesian Constitutional Court in case no. 53/PUU-VI / / 2008 dated 13 April 2009 which rejected a requesting of material test of the Article 74 paragraph (1), (2) and (3) of the Company Law confirms the existence of the CSR by mandatory in international trade traffic today.

This paper examines the relationship between corporate social responsibility (CSR) and financial performance for Islamic banks in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region over the period 2000–2014 by generating CSR-related data through disclosure analysis of the annual reports of the sampled banks. The findings of this study indicate that there is a significant positive relationship between CSR disclosure and the financial performance of Islamic banks in the GCC countries. The results also show a positive relationship between CSR disclosure and the future financial performance of GCC Islamic banks, potentially indicating that current CSR activities carried out by Islamic banks in the GCC could have a long-term impact on their financial performance. Furthermore, despite demonstrating a significant positive relationship between the composite measure of the CSR disclosure index and financial performance, the findings show no statistically significant relationship between the individual dimensions of the CSR disclosure index and the current financial performance measure except for ‘mission and vision’ and ‘products and services’. Similarly, the empirical results detect a positive significant association only between ‘mission and vision’ dimension and future financial performance of the examined banks.

Given the rising interest in corporate social responsibility (CSR) globally, its local expressions are as varied as they are increasingly visible in both developed and developing countries. This paper presents a multilevel review of the literature on CSR in developing countries and highlights the key differentiators and nuanced CSR-related considerations that qualify it as a distinctive field of study. This review entails a content analysis of 452 articles spanning two-and-a-half decades (1990–2015). Based on this comprehensive review, the authors identify the key differentiating attributes of the literature on CSR in developing countries in relation to depictions of how CSR is conceived or 'CSR Thinking' and depictions of how CSR is practiced and implemented or 'CSR Doing'. The authors synthesize from there five key themes that capture the main aspects of variation in this literature, namely: (1) complex institutional antecedents within the national business system (NBS); (2) complex macro-level antecedents outside the NBS; (3) the salience of multiple actors involved in formal and informal governance; (4) hybridized and other nuanced forms of CSR expressions; and (5) varied scope of developmental and detrimental CSR consequences. The paper concludes by accentuating how the nu-anced forms of CSR in the developing world are invariably contextualized and locally shaped by multi-level factors and actors embedded within wider formal and informal governance systems.
