A ranking on corporate social responsability for the PSI20 companies

This paper aims to propose a CSR index constructed for 19 of the 20 companies comprising the PSI-20, from the Euronext Lisbon, and to analyse if the companies are more oriented towards the internal dimension or external dimension suggested by the European Commission Green Paper of 2001, for the 2005 - 2009 period. According to the results, one can observe that the companies under analysis give greater emphasis to the internal dimension since they showed higher values for the CRS index when compared with the analysis of external dimension.
