Using Corporate Social Responsibility as Insurance for Financial Performance
Abstract
This article provides a framework for simultaneously assessing the affirmative and defensive functions of Corporate Social Responsibility. It is based on integrating two traditionally distinct approaches to CSR: one views it as compatible with economic objectives, while the other regards it as incompatible with them. By bringing these two approaches together and recognizing CSR's multiple functions, this article analyzes how CSR can offer a crucial advantage to managers by providing a means of insuring financial performance against negative events. This latent insurance value is often ignored in traditional evaluations of the relationship between CSR and financial performance.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
