Abstract

We examine the effect of Corporate Social Responsibility activities on the value of corporations through the supply contracts with customers, one of important stakeholders. The analyses using KEJI index and supply contract announcements show that the likelihood of involving in a supply contract is lower and the announcement return is lower when CSR performance is higher. However, this negative effect of CSR is different across the level of CSR performance. The negative effects of CSR do not exist in the firms with highest level of CSR performance while most of the negative effects are concentrated in the firms with mediocre performance in CSR. These results indicate that market recognizes not best CSR activities but mediocre CSR activities as sacrifice of shareholder value.

본 연구는 CSR활동의 성과가 기업의 가치에 미치는 영향을 공급계약 공시라는 주요 이해관계자와의 사건을 통하여 실증적으로 연구 분석하였다. 경제정의실천연구소에서 제공하는 CSR성과지표인 KEJI Index와 한국거래소의 공급계약 공시를 이용한 연구결과, CSR의 성과가 높을수록 공급계약을 맺을 확률이 낮았으며 공시일의 누적비정상수익률도 낮았다. 동결과는 기업의 CSR활동이 주주의 부를 감소시킨다는 CSR에 대한 부정적인 견해를 지지한다. 그러나 이러한 CSR활동의 부정적인 영향은 CSR성과의 수준별로 차이가 있으며, 최상위의 성과를 낸 경우에는 이러한 부정적인 영향이 없고, 차상위의 성과를 낸 경우에 이러한 부정적인 영향의 대부분이 집중되어 있었다. 이는 최상위의 성과를 내는데 실패한 CSR활동은 기업 가치에 부정적인 영향을 줌을 암시한다.
