Abstract

The objective of this paper is to assess the current state of corporate social responsibility in Vietnamese food businesses. By qualitative analysis method based on case studies, the author analyzed the current situation of corporate social responsibility activities in the 4 typical companies of Vietnam's food industry. The results show that enterprises are not fully aware of the role of corporate social responsibility in their sustainable development strategy. The corporate social responsibility is not considered as a long-term investment strategy, but it only complies with customer requirements. In 4 case studies, Vinamilk is the most comprehensive corporate social responsibility provider.
