| dc.description.abstract | Using a global sample of 9,017 firm-year observations, we find that CSR in the banking industry is primarily oriented towards philanthropy, involving fewer policies and programs required for integrating business and CSR. Banks are also found to be less genuine in CSR than firms in other sectors. Second, we look into the banking industry and investigate how CEO dominance in corporate governance influences the banks’ strategic choices on CSR. | en_US |
