Background of the Study
CSR is increasingly recognized as a tool for enhancing brand image and creating value for both businesses and communities. Dangote Cement, Nigeria’s leading cement manufacturer, has invested in various CSR initiatives aimed at improving its public image, fostering goodwill among local communities, and promoting environmental sustainability (Oladele & Ibrahim, 2023).
