Abstract
This study examines the associations of corporate social and environmental responsibilities with corporate performance in Saudi Arabia for the period of 2007-2011. A pooled OLS regression analysis is used to estimate the associations proposed in the hypothesis. The final sample consists of 164 listed companies in Tadawul. The study finds that corporate social and environmental responsibilities are negatively associated with corporate performance in a form of return on equity. Additionally, this study reports insignificant associations between corporate social and environmental responsibilities and corporate performance in forms of Tobin's Q and ROA. Importantly, the study suggests that regulators, especially Saudi stock exchange, should mandate companies to disclose all relevant information related to corporate social responsibility in a transparent and timely manner, and increase law enforcement to enhance good corporate governance practices. For companies, this study proposes that they should emphasize more on enhancing the role and the quality of their social and environmental responsibilities, board of directors and the audit committee members, as this enhancement may positively influence their performance.
