The concept of corporate social responsibility began to attract early reflections from the first decades of the 20th century. The concept of Corporate Social Responsibility is essentially linking to the social theme and the relationship of the company with internal and external partners. It is thus necessary that companies take responsibility for the externalities that are borne by stakeholders. To assess the effectiveness of policies of social responsibility Tunisian firms, we conducted an exploratory study using a questionnaire distributed to a sample of Tunisian company. The researcher divides this work on two parts. The first one discusses the theoretical concepts relating to the social corporate responsibility strategy required. In the second part, the researcher presents the research methodology and the analysis and interpretations of the results generating from a field survey. The results showed that Tunisian firms (our study sample) take into account their social and corporate responsibility in their short and long-term strategies.
