This study examines the current state of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) research in Ghana. The evidence is based on a review of 47 published academic papers retrieved from three key online databases (EBSCOhost, Emerald Insights and Business Source Complete) and content analysis procedures drawn from the extant literature. The analysis demonstrates that the concept of CSR in Ghana is under-theorised. Researchers have focused more on empirical dimensions of CSR, following mostly quantitative methods of research. In addition, majority of the studies were skewed towards large multinational or internationally connected companies, especially those in the mining, banking and telecommunications sectors. This study contributes significantly to research in CSR literature. The study is the first attempt to map the research terrain of the body of knowledge on CSR in Ghana. It provides insights into research studies that have been conducted on CSR in Ghana, the areas that have not been explored, and avenues that exist for further research considerations.

“…Although Ghanaian local companies were familiar with the concept and practise of CSR to some extent, they subscribed less to the contemporary notion of CSR; they were less strategic, less moral, and ethical in their approach to CSR, according to Ofori and Hinson (2007), as cited in Hinson et al (2017). According to Ofori and Hinson (2007), internationally linked Ghanaian enterprises, on the other hand, have a better understanding of the many elements of CSR and how they may be leveraged to promote their business.…”

Corporate social responsibility (CSR) activities in Ghana are spearheaded by large-scale multi-national companies and have gained momentum in recent years possibly due to the discovery of oil. The goal of this study is to learn more about how energy companies in Ghana view and practise CSR. A mixture of quantitative and qualitative methods was adopted for this study. Structured questionnaires and interview guides were used to collect data from selected energy companies and inhabitants. Descriptive statistics, t-tests and content analysis were the analytical tools adopted. The findings suggest that CSR was seen as a voluntary activity in the Ghanaian energy supply industry, with enterprises being obliged to work within societal norms rather than regulatory standards in the country. In the lens of the level of CSR practiced by the energy supply company, the findings indicate that the companies do practice CSR but based on their own planned policy objectives with most of the interventions geared towards social interventions like education, provision of potable water for communities, scholarship schemes, and road development. Policymakers will make use of the findings of the research to inform their knowledge in designing policies related to CSR. The outcome will also guide corporate firms in the energy sector to make decisions to either consider stakeholders as vital movers of development in the communities they operate, or they are being a hindrance to their CSR mandate. This study is unique as it extends knowledge on CSR in the energy sector of Ghana.

The concept of corporate social responsibility (CSR) emerged in response to the development of sustainable corporations that prioritize sustainable development practices. The Sintang District Government's economic improvement program aims to boost community income by developing the UMKM sector (Micro, Small, Medium Enterprises). To integrate palm oil plantations with livestock, the local government initiated this effort. The research method used is a descriptive study - with qualitative data types through data collection techniques conducted utilizing interviews, observations, and literature studies. The study found that the application of CSR in Indonesia does not fully align with the legal definition of CSR. The implementation of CSR is primarily focused on short-term aid provision to local communities. The integration of livestock farms has not been implemented by all plantation companies, and the ones that do exist are suboptimal. Even though Sintang Regency cannot meet the local beef needs, farmers are only capable of meeting 20-30% of the annual demand. Consequently, to meet the demand, the government must purchase livestock from outside Sintang district and even from outside the province of West Kalimantan.
