Abstract :
This research is a quantitative research which aims to analyze and explain the effect
of corporate social responsibility (CSR) disclosure on profitability as measured by
the ratio of return on assets of PT. Vale Indonesia Tbk Sorowako. The population in
this study were all data or documents of the annual report and sustainability report
which were obtained directly from the Pt website. Vale Indonesia Tbk. Sorowako
during the 2015-2019 period. The sample taken contains a balance sheet and income
statement, as well as a sustainable report containing the GRI index. The data found
were then processed using a computer with the SPSS version 20 application. The
analysis used included descriptive statistics, simple linear regression, classical
assumption test (normality, heteroscedasticity, and autocorrelation), test and T test
(partial). The results of the study found that Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)
had no significant effect on profitability as evidenced by p-value 0,153>0,05 and t?count of 1,905< t-table 3,182. CSR activities are costs for companies that can reduce
and cannot increase company profits significantly. An increase in company assets, if
not combined or balanced with an increase in profit, will result in a low or
diminishing Return On Assets (ROA).
Key words: Disclosure of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), profitability and the
ratio of return on assets
