Abstract:

This research study aims to assess the impact of corporate social responsibility (CSR) on the advocacy of indigenous communities in the Philippines, with a focus on their alignment with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The study utilizes a systematic literature review methodology to gather and analyze relevant studies and publications. The research is guided by the following objectives: (1) identify the best practices of CSR in addressing indigenous communities; (2) identifying tools and instruments to assess the impact of CSR on Indigenous Peoples. (3) Examine the impact of CSR initiatives in line with UN SDG 17. Through the review of the literature, the study identifies best practices in the implementation of impact assessments for CSR initiatives. The results and discussions from the literature review provide insights into the various CSR initiatives implemented in the Philippines, their impact on indigenous communities, and the level of integration with the UN SDG. The conclusion highlights the importance of incorporating the best practices into impact assessments, emphasizing their role in creating positive social and environmental change. The study recommends improving the effectiveness and inclusivity of CSR initiatives by adopting best practices in impact assessment. The study implies engaging government agencies, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), indigenous communities, and the private sector, in promoting Partnership for the Goals (SDG 17) through CSR.
