ABSTRACT
A critical component of this chapter examines the impact of countries’ cultures and laws on socially responsible corporate practices. There are several drivers of CSR, such as the market, government, institution, globalization, social, etc., but the nation’s culture occupies a dominant position. This chapter elaborates on the influence that the cultures of the nations across the globe have on the cultures of the environment in which they operate i.e. the culture of the country other than the one from which they originated. Further, the chapter attempts to use various literature from around the world that are related to it, as well as the Hofstede model to support its argument. Accordingly, one can say that the CSR practices used by businesses in a particular region are influenced by the cultural aspects of the region in which the businesses are situated.
