ABSTRACT With the increased use of the internet, social networks have acted as a relationship channel between consumers and companies. This paper aims to analyze the communication between an organization and its customers in a Brazilian online community, based on corporate social responsibility (CSR) criteria VBA model, which is composed of the elements of value, balance, and accountability. Netnography was applied to the Facebook fan page of a company brand that manufactures and sells coffee machines and capsules. The results demonstrated that the elements of the VBA model do not meet the expected criteria in the social network analyzed, showing a discrepancy between what the organization intends to deliver and what is delivered to customers. These findings have implications for the theory and practice of organizations, broadening the discussion about CSR practices and consumer behavior. It also highlighted the need to investigate deeply the constructs that built the VBA Model contributing to develop the field.

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Software Market Outlook

The Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Software market size was valued at approximately USD 1.2 billion in 2023 and is projected to reach USD 2.8 billion by 2032, reflecting a robust CAGR of around 9.8% during the forecast period. This growth is primarily driven by the increasing emphasis on sustainable business practices and the rising importance of transparent corporate governance. As businesses across the globe are becoming more socially conscious, the need for CSR software that enables organizations to effectively manage and report their CSR activities has never been more pressing. This trend is further amplified by regulatory pressures and the growing demand from stakeholders for businesses to demonstrate their commitment to corporate social responsibility.

One of the key growth factors for the CSR software market is the expanding regulatory requirements imposed on corporations to uphold ethical practices. Governments worldwide are instituting stringent guidelines that mandate companies to disclose their social and environmental impact, thereby necessitating the adoption of sophisticated software solutions to track and report these metrics accurately. Moreover, as the public becomes increasingly aware of corporate footprints, companies are under pressure to not only comply with regulations but to exceed them, cultivating a culture of accountability and transparency. This regulatory landscape presents a unique opportunity for CSR software vendors to expand their market presence by offering solutions that simplify compliance management for organizations.

Another significant driver is the evolution of consumer preferences towards brands that exhibit responsible corporate behavior. Modern consumers, especially millennials and Gen Z, are more inclined to support businesses that align with their values concerning social justice, environmental sustainability, and ethical governance. This shift in consumer attitude has prompted companies to invest in CSR initiatives to build brand loyalty and enhance their market reputation. Consequently, organizations are deploying CSR software to streamline their initiatives, monitor progress, and effectively communicate their achievements to both internal and external stakeholders, thereby fostering a positive brand image and gaining competitive advantage in the marketplace.

Furthermore, the integration of advanced technologies such as AI and data analytics in CSR software is empowering businesses to derive actionable insights from their CSR activities. These technologies allow organizations to measure the impact of their initiatives more accurately and efficiently, facilitating strategic decision-making processes. Additionally, the use of cloud-based platforms is enhancing the accessibility and scalability of CSR software, enabling companies of all sizes to adopt these solutions without significant infrastructure investments. This technological advancement is expected to drive the market further as it offers seamless integration with existing systems and provides real-time visibility into CSR performance metrics.
