Corporate social responsibility : a review of empirical research using Thomson Reuters Asset4 data
De Villiers, Charl Johannes; Jia, Jing; Li, Zhongtian
Thomson Reuters Asset4 (Asset4) is a leading corporate
social responsibility (CSR) database often used by practitioners
and researchers. This review offers a precise
understanding of prior studies using Asset4 and their
justification for selecting Asset4, and identifies research
opportunities. We review 285 studies using Asset4 data
published in quality academic journals, analysing: (1)
the usage of Asset4 pillars, categories, data points, and
indicators; (2) the justification for using Asset4; and (3) research
themes. Our findings provide valuable information
for practitioners and researchers who (plan to) use CSR
databases, including our guidance on promising avenues
for future studies.
