Abstract

Research on the relationship between corporate social responsibility (CSR) and financial performance (FD) has been carried out for about three decades, resulting in 186 related papers in more than 25 meta-analyses or abstract studies, the present article being the first in Spanish. Thirty scientific investigations published in international journals were selected, of which the purpose, population sample and results are mentioned. A significant number of these studies coincide in a positive relationship between CSR and FD, some consider the relationship to be irrelevant and only one indicates that it is negative.
