Abstract: | The aim of this study is to investigate whether the covid-19 pandemic has had an effect on the CSR activities of Dutch companies. The results of this study were collected using Qualtrics, a survey website and interviews with five different Dutch companies. For the survey, 473 random Dutch companies were approached with a total response rate of 11.2%. The results of the study were processed using a one-way repeated measures Anova within the SPSS programme and Qualtrics was used. Within this study, different time frames, PRE MID and POST covid-19 were examined. These data were all collected retrospectively. The results of this study indicated that the impact of the covid-19 pandemic on the CSR activities of Dutch companies differed significantly between time frames. The study found that the covid-19 pandemic had a positive impact on the CSR activities of the Dutch companies. For instance, the scores between timeframes PRE & POST covid-19 for the variables ethics & safety, economic and environment & health all increased positively. Therefore, this increase indicates that despite the covid-19 crisis, CSR activities remained attractive for Dutch companies. These findings are in line with the literature used in this study. |
