This research examines the impact of corporate social responsibility
(CSR) dimensions (employee, customer, community, and environment)
on the sustainable business performance of the
manufacturing industry. Manifestly, the mediating impact of firm
reputation is also analyzed between CSR and sustainable business
performance. In doing so, we have collected primary data from
Italian manufacturing firm’s employees using simple random sampling.
Smart-PLS was used to test the reliability of the covariates
and relationships among the variables. The results revealed that
CSR has a positive association with firm reputation and sustainable
business performance. The findings also indicated that firm
reputation has a significant and positive association with sustainable
business performance. Moreover, firm’s reputation plays a
positive and significant mediating role between CSR and sustainable
business performance. These results provide valuable
recommendations.
