Abstract: Corporate social responsibility (CSR) is the obligation of firms towards society in which they exist. The research studies the relationship between the expenditure made on social responsibility activities and the profitability of the energy firms, which are highly polluting in nature. The study also examines the mediating effect of disclosure of CSR activities on the relationship between the two. The study is based on secondary data collected from the annual reports of 38 energy firms listed on Bombay Stock Exchange for the time period from 2010-2011 to 2016-2017. The mediating effect is tested using Preacher and Hayes (2004) approach through process macro of SPSS.
