Abstract

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has been a recurrent subject in the companies over the past decade. There is increasing evidence that various dimensions of CSR adopted by the company positively influence consumer behavior. This article aims to identify the importance that consumers assign to the various CSR activities. For that we adopted the model developed by Parada et al. (2014) and the method of Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA). The results show that CSR most valued activities by clients are the ones related to society and to the management of the organization. The actions to the own clients obtained a high valuation; however they not translate the concept of CSR researched the consumer. The result of this research might assist businesses in thinking about which dimensions of CSR should be further developed into business strategies. Moreover, the results allow the comparison between the views of Brazilian and Spanish consumers on CSR and contribute to the development of future research. The results demonstrate that the dimensions are correlated, which contributes to the design of new research tools.
