VERA ACEVEDO, Luz Dinora  and  PELAEZ VILLADA, Diana Carolina. Analysis of the Ethical, Legal and Economic Domains of Corporate Social Responsibility: A Business Case. Civilizar [online]. 2013, vol.13, n.25, pp.85-102. ISSN 1657-8953.

The tendency of organizations is to achieve positioning and legitimacy through strategies of corporate social responsibility (CSR). This article focuses on the analysis of CSR practices and it seeks, through a business case, to define a method to examine the benefits of its application in society and in organizations. From the proposal of Schwartz (2011) on the domains of corporate social responsibility, where the ethical, economic, and legal dimensions of philanthropic organizations converge, financial reports and social balances of a company, were studied, where we identified, financial, ethical, and tax variables which allowed us to establish the orientation and balance between social responsibility practices and corporate image.

Keywords : Corporate social responsibility; ethic domain; legal domain and economic domain; financial reports and social balances.
