Project Abstract
<p> Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives have become increasingly prevalent, aiming to enhance a company's social and environmental impact. However, measuring the effectiveness of these initiatives in strengthening brand reputation remains a complex challenge. This research develops a multi-stakeholder evaluation framework to assess the impact of CSR efforts on brand reputation. By analyzing diverse stakeholder perspectives and utilizing quantitative and qualitative data, the project aims to offer a comprehensive understanding of the relationship between CSR and brand image. The findings will contribute to evidence-based decision-making for companies, guiding them in designing and implementing CSR initiatives that deliver genuine value for both communities and brand reputation. <br></p>
