clearly portrayed through the story of an old man who spends the day

companies they can rely on; employees want to work for companies they
respect; and NGOs, increasingly, want to work together with companies
seeking feasible solutions and innovations in areas of common concern.
2. Increasing Profitability
It is generally held that corporate social responsibility could increase
company profits and thus most large companies are actively engaged in
it. But few executives and managers are aware of the research on this
important subject.
Most executives believe that CSR can improve profits. They understand
that CSR can promote respect for their company in the marketplace which
can result in higher sales, enhance employee loyalty and attract better

3. Increasing society welfare
CSR may also improve the welfare of the society. Now, companies are
concerned about societys welfare. CSR is a businesss concern for
societys welfare. This means that marketing managers are interested in
long-term corporate interests and also societys health. Companies can
look to solve societys problems by creating a product or service to fulfil a
need and they will profit and help the world.
4. Corporate identity and image
Communication is designed to operate not only on the image of the
company, but also to provide public information, to explain and comment
meanings, support cultural patterns and agitate. It can be noted that
corporate social responsibility is one of the most important factors that
influence the corporate identity and image. To create a positive image of
the company need perfect product quality, reliable service, reasonable
price, continuous innovation process and systematic work in favor of
business stakeholders. Effective communication of CSR activities should
provide an understanding and recognition of the value of the company,
which in the final phase has an impact on corporate identity and
subsequently on the corporate image.

Conclusion
In terms of Corporate Social Responsibility activities, PETRONAS is
doing well, but it focuses more on non-direct activities. In order to become
sustaining corporation, PETRONAS should start practicing real Corporate
Social Responsibility by reducing and stopping environmental damage
caused by its operations and actively seeks renewable and sustainable
energy sources. In order to move into sustaining phase, PETRONAS must
first treat the environment as its definite stakeholder.
