Abstract:

 Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) encompasses the deliberate and responsible attempts by companies to ensure that their operations ‎have a positive impact on the environment and society’s well-being. In banking and finance, the theoretical importance of CSR is ‎undisputable due to its rigorous implementation. This paper aims to review CSR literature in the banking and finance sector, using ‎bibliometric analysis to identify the significance and provide thematic directions for further research on CSR practices. The bibliometric ‎dataset analyzed consisted of 920 articles published from 2004 to 2025, retrieved from the Scopus database. Bibliometric analysis ‎techniques, including network analysis of citations, co-authorship, co-occurrence analysis, and bibliographic coupling, were utilized to ‎discover the intellectual structure and future research directions in the area. The R Studio Bibliometrix package (Biblioshiny) and VOS ‎viewer software were utilized to conduct the bibliometric analysis and visualize the data. The analyses revealed publication trends, key ‎authors, terms, relevant sources, countries, and the collaboration pattern among the researchers. Further, the study identified the existing ‎social and intellectual framework and suggested thematic directions for future research. The findings will help academicians understand the ‎current research progression and future directions in CSR research in the banking and finance sector, contributing to the advancement of the ‎research domain.
