Corporate Social Responsibility Practices in Multinational Corporations within Angola's Context
Abstract
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) practices have become increasingly important for multinational corporations (MNCs) operating in developing contexts such as Angola, where there is a growing recognition of the need to balance profit-making with social and environmental responsibilities. The analysis is based on a comprehensive literature review of academic articles, company reports, and government documents published between and . The review employs thematic analysis to identify recurring patterns and themes related to CSR practices across different sectors and companies in Angola. A key finding from this review is the significant variation in CSR practices among MNCs in Angola, with some demonstrating strong commitment to initiatives such as education support and sustainable agriculture, while others are less active or inconsistent in their efforts. While there has been progress in CSR implementation within Angolan MNCs, further concerted efforts are needed to align corporate strategies more closely with national development goals and societal expectations. MNCs should be encouraged to develop more integrated CSR strategies that are informed by local context-specific needs. Government policies could also play a role by providing clearer guidelines and incentives for CSR activities.
