Different scholars and professors have defined CSR or Corporate Social Responsibility in many ways. Generally, CSR includes the responsibilities that businesses hold towards the societies they carry their operations in (Cadbury, 2006).

And the positive brand image can influence customers’ purchasing behaviors since consumers prefer to choose the companies that have the good brand image (Maignan and Ferrell 2001). For instance,
