ABSTRACT - This study examines the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) practices of selected manufacturing companies in Coimbatore over the period 2015 to 2025, mainly focusing on the allocation and impact of CSR activities across various sectors. The research integrates primary data collected from stakeholders with secondary data obtained from company reports to analyze CSR spending patterns and stakeholder perceptions. The findings indicate that CSR initiatives are largely concentrated in areas such as education and poverty alleviation, while comparatively less emphasis is placed on other sectors. The study also reveals varying levels of stakeholder awareness and a generally moderate perception of CSR impact. Overall, the research highlights that, although CSR practices show structured implementation, there is a need for more balanced allocation of resources and stronger stakeholder engagement to enhance their effectiveness and long-term sustainability.
Key words: CSR Practices, Stakeholder Awareness, Environmental Sustainability, Social Impact, CSR Spending.
