Subject. This article explores the determinants of social responsibility of backbone enterprises. Objectives. The article aims to investigate the relationships between the socio-economic situation of the monotown where the backbone company operates, and corporate social responsibility (CSR). Methods. For the study, I used a regression analysis and univariate analysis of spatial data. The rating estimates calculated using an original methodology are used as a CSR proxy (dependent variable). Results. Presenting information about the current situation of backbone enterprises and monotowns in Russia, the article reveals the existence of relationships between the backbone enterprise's affiliation to a monotown with a certain socio-economic situation and the level of corporate social responsibility. Conclusions. The situation of the backbone companies is likely to deteriorate. Increasing the level of social responsibility during a crisis seems unlikely.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate investors’ perception of corporate social responsibility (CSR) and its risk-mitigating effects on firm-level innovation in Japan from 2006 to 2017. The authors examine the influence of CSR intensity on firm-specific risks, focusing on the risk-moderating effect of CSR on innovation. Design/methodology/approach The authors conducted a simple slope analysis and panel data regressions with input and output innovation measures and idiosyncratic risk based on an asset-pricing model. Findings The results demonstrate that CSR intensity not only reduces firm-specific risk directly but also indirectly by negatively moderating the relationship between firm-level innovation and idiosyncratic risk. Research limitations/implications Signaling trust to capital markets, CSR engagements in the manufacturing industry are clearly important for innovative firms with active research and development undertakings. Practical implications Corporate managers should further expand their efforts to make non-financial disclosures available, considering the interactions between CSR intensity and research and development financial risk. Originality/value In the context of Japanese firms, this study demonstrates the interaction between CSR practices and innovation activities from the perspective of long-term management of corporate sustainability.
