Corporate social responsibility (CSR) refers to the ethical obligations of businesses to contribute positively to society and the environment, beyond the pursuit of profit. In many developing regions, CSR has become an essential tool for companies to demonstrate environmental stewardship and contribute to sustainable development. Kaduna North LGA, as one of the industrial hubs in Kaduna State, is home to several businesses whose operations have significant environmental implications. This study will assess the role of CSR in environmental protection in the region, focusing on how local businesses have implemented CSR initiatives to address environmental issues such as pollution, deforestation, and waste management (Sule & Habibu, 2025).
