Background of the Study
Social Responsibility Accounting (SRA) refers to the integration of social responsibility factors into the accounting practices of a company, reflecting the impact of its operations on the community, environment, and other stakeholders. SRA aims to enhance transparency, improve stakeholder relations, and promote ethical business practices, which can, in turn, affect profitability (Olawale & Adebisi, 2024).
Nigerian Breweries Plc, a subsidiary of Heineken International, is a leader in the Nigerian beverage industry and has engaged in numerous social responsibility initiatives. These initiatives include programs aimed at improving community health, environmental sustainability, and education. The company also implements social responsibility accounting practices to account for the financial implications of these activities. Given the importance of social responsibility in today’s business environment, this study investigates how SRA influences the profitability of Nigerian Breweries Plc, focusing on the financial outcomes of their social initiatives (Ogunleye & Adewumi, 2023).
This study explores the relationship between SRA practices and profitability, examining how Nigerian Breweries Plc integrates social responsibility into its accounting practices and the effect this integration has on its financial performance.
Statement of the Problem
Although SRA is recognized for its potential to positively affect corporate reputation and stakeholder relations, its direct impact on profitability remains uncertain. Despite Nigerian Breweries Plc’s active engagement in social initiatives, questions persist about whether these activities, reported through SRA, translate into improved financial performance. This study aims to explore whether there is a measurable connection between SRA practices and profitability at Nigerian Breweries Plc.
