This study investigates the link between assurance practices of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) reports using the top 100 Bangladeshi companies in the year 2015 based on the Global Reporting Initiatives (GRI). The main objective is to find out to what extent companies in Bangladesh assure their CSR activities. To achieve the research objectives, three research questions are developed to examine the interrelationships between assurance and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) disclosure, industry sector, and reporting format. We find that, in general, Bangladeshi companies tend to assure their disclosure in the areas of economic performance, labour and society. We find that non-carbon Bangladeshi companies tend to get their CSR disclosure assured. We also find that Bangladeshi companies which adopt assurance tend to disclose more CSR activities on their annual report. Our results, in general, support proactive legitimacy theory as they provide evidence that Bangladeshi companies proactively disclose CSR information in certain areas and seek assurance to enhance stakeholders' confidence and credibility of social and environmental reporting.

“…CSR spending in Cambodia in the recent years has also grown. However, in developing countries in East Asia, such as Cambodia, CSR is a relatively new concept, and the implications of developments in CSR for local companies are still being explored [50]. In Cambodia, the size of the industrial base and the extent to which the industrial structure offers potential for CSR activities are limited.…”

Foreign direct investment (FDI) and corporate social responsibility (CSR) spending are one of the major factors in improving sustainable economic development of a country. Therefore, this study focuses on the multi criteria application of FDI and sustainability factors (CSR spending) in various developing countries to explore its impact and decision making for sustainable economic growth. The study uses a case study methodology whereby FDI, exchange rate, and CSR expenditure data from 20 countries were used to assess the efficiency in sustainable economic growth. Data were collected from the World Bank for 20 Asian and African developing countries during 2012–2017 and analyzed using GM (1,1), mean absolute percentage error (MAPE), Malmquist productivity index (MPI)-data envelopment analysis (DEA), and the slacks-based measure of efficiency (SBM) model. Correlation analysis is used to find the relationship for FDI, CSR, exchange rate, gross domestic product (GDP), and GDP per capita (GDPPC). The results of the Malmquist productivity index and the frontier effect clearly highlight that a few countries have witnessed a great improvement in terms of productivity and technological progression. Therefore, the decision makers must adopt the model of those countries with respect to sustainable development of the nation. This study helps developing nations as well as researchers to benchmark efficient countries and follow their strategies to develop a new one for utilizing FDI and CSR spending in sustainable economic development. The study also helps policy makers in multi criterion application of FDI and CSR for decision making in economic development.
