본 연구는 기업의 국제화와 기업의 사회적 책임(CSR)활동의 연관성을 살펴보고자 하였다. 연구를 위하여 경제정의연구소에 2013년-2014년도에 발표된 200대 기업들을 대상으로 기업들의 CSR활동정도를 파악하기 위하여 경제정의지수(KEJI Index)를 활용하였다. 연구대상 기업은 총 286개 기업이다. 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 기업의 국제화 정도에 따라 CSR활동의 차이를 살펴본 결과 기업의 국제화 정도에 따라 CSR세부활동별 유의적인 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 대체적으로 국제화 정도가 높을수록 적극적인 CSR활동을 하는 것으로 나타났으며, 특히 환경경영과 소비자보호 활동을 적극적으로 하는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 기업의 국제화에 영향을 주는 요인에 있어서 환경 경영과 소비자보호가 유의한 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다. 국제화 비중이 높은 기업의 경우, 환경경영과 소비자보호 활동을 중요하게 생각하고 이에 대한 활동을 적극적으로 하는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구는 국제화 시대의 CSR활동의 중요성에 대해 제시하고, 국제화에 영향을 주는 CSR세부활동의 영향력을 규명함으로써, 기업의 지속가능경영을 위한 CSR활동과 전략을 제시하였다.
