Resumo:Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is a commitment used by business organizations to improve the society - which includes people and environment - when the consequences of their actions do not only affect themselves (Adnan et al., 2018; Visser et al., 2019) by developing a set of strategies that entails the integration of social and environmental considerations into a company's business practices and engagements with stakeholders. CSR is commonly perceived as how a company harmonizes economic, environmental, and social objectives, all while meeting the expectations of shareholders and the public's demand for greater environmental responsibility. This development has resulted in an increased focus on sustainability and CSR in both academic and professional contexts. Many international corporations have taken measures to engage in corporate social responsibility (CSR) through actions such as reducing their carbon footprint, promoting diversity and inclusion, and supporting social causes. This dissertation aims to examine the effects of disclosing CSR practices on corporate sustainability (CS) within the International Corporate sector. The research period covers 2020 to 2022 evaluating critically the impact of CSR. The methods to evaluate and accommodate environmental risks associated with business activities of these corporations will be analysed, using regression models, to determine the relationship between CSR and sustainability (CS). This study will provide valuable insights into CSR and sustainability practice as powerful strategies that drive the business's ability to attract top talent, have significant long-term benefits for the organization and guide investors and regulators in their decision-making processes. we conducted a survey to employees in order to understand and acknowledgement of some questions of the current thesis work. overall, 150 employees participated. four hypotheses were stated then we identified which are corroborated or not corroborated. We can claim that the motivation must be derived from the employee itself
