Abstract

This paper investigates whether the client’s perceptions on the cooperatives’ conduct values and rules, in Parana State, influence (or not) these companies to perform Corporate Social Responsibility (C.S.R.) actions. Surveys on corporate social responsibility were sent to all agricultural cooperatives within Parana State. The questions were divided in five categories: workplace policies; environmental policies; market policies; community-related policies; company values. Those information categories were charted by the cross tabulation method. The analysis has shown that, when companies notice client’s concern about the issue, they tend to perform Corporate Social Responsibility practices.
