Findings reveal that CSR communication through social media significantly enhances e-reputation, positively influencing brand loyalty and consumer perception. The study underscores the importance of transparent and engaging CSR communication in building a strong online reputation, and highlights how visual content, storytelling, and real-time updates can amplify CSR efforts.
