This study sought to analyse the effects of corporate social responsibility (CSR) on firm performance in listed firms in Zimbabwe. The specific objectives of the study were to analyse the relationship between CSR and profitability, ascertain the effect of CSR on competitive advantage and establish the impact of CSR on sales revenue in listed firms in Zimbabwe.
