Nowadays, global organizations have turned their spotlight on organizational sustainability in order to become the agents of sustainable development. Organizations need to equally focus on improving the economic, social and environmental performance to ensure organizational sustainability (Willard, 2012). Thus, every organization has to report and show its social and environmental performance, in addition to economic performance. In this sense, Willard (2012) stated that organizations need to focus more on Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) to enhance their social performance. Hence, most of the organizations are engaged in implementing the CSR activities in order to increase the positive social impacts of their business activities, which in turn help enhance organizational sustainability.
