The Impact of CSR Initiatives on Brand Reputation and Consumer Purchase Intentions

Abstract: This study examines the role of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) in shaping brand reputation and influencing consumer purchase intentions. As consumers increasingly seek ethical and sustainable brands, CSR has become a strategic tool for differentiation and loyalty-building. By integrating primary data collected from 100 respondents through structured questionnaires with an in-depth review of secondary literature, this paper investigates how CSR efforts affect trust, perception, and buying behavior. The findings demonstrate a strong link between effective CSR communication and positive consumer responses. This research offers practical recommendations for brands aiming to strengthen their market position through responsible corporate conduct.
