摘要:Microfinance pursues a dual objective: reduce poverty (social performance) and ensure lasting profitability(financial performance). However, beyond these two performances, microfinance institutions (MFIs) have asocial responsibility (CSR) towards their stakeholders.

The analysis is conducted overa sample of 60 Togolese MFIs, using the principal component analysis and generalized least squares techniques.The results show that CSR through the dimensions customer, employees and community positively andsignificantly impact on the financial performance of MFIs when measured by ROA, while the environmentdimension has a negative significant influence.
