The contribution of social responsibility in promoting sustainable environmental development
Keywords:
Social Responsibility, Sustainable Development, Environmental Dimension, Industrial Complexes, AlgeriaAbstract
This study aims to examine the impact of corporate social responsibility on sustainable environmental development in major industrial complexes in Algeria. To achieve this objective, 125 questionnaires were distributed to a random sample of financial and accounting managers in large industrial units representing these complexes and their branches. A total of 98 valid questionnaires were collected for analysis using the statistical software SPSS.25, based on the descriptive analytical method. The study found a statistically significant impact of social responsibility on sustainable environmental development, also known as the ecological (environmental) dimension, at a significance level of 0.05. Specifically, a one-unit increase in the practice of social responsibility by these industrial complexes leads to a 63.3% increase in their contribution to achieving sustainable environmental development.
