<![CDATA[CSR is seen as a manifestation of a company’s commitment to the community and the surrounding environment. In reality, conflicts between communities and companies are still common due to disparities and injustices in the implementation of corporate social responsibility. As a result, CSR is viewed as failing to align with the philosophy of deep ecology. This study aims to explain the interpretation of CSR from a stakeholder perspective. Based on this interpretation, this study conducts a further analysis of the implementation of CSR through the lens of deep ecology principles. This study employs a phenomenological interpretive approach. This approach is used to uncover the meanings of CSR within the stakeholder dimension, followed by an analysis of deep ecology values regarding CSR implementation, referencing the four principles of deep ecology. Based on the stakeholder dimension, this study identifies the meaning of CSR in four aspects, namely: (1) corporate accountability and commitment, (2) corporate branding, (3) charitable activities, and (4) conflict avoidance strategies. Stakeholders’ interpretations of CSR reveal a tension between ecological orientation and corporate interests. From a deep ecology perspective, stakeholders’ interpretations of CSR reveal a tension between ecological concerns and corporate interests. CSR is not viewed solely as an ecological responsibility grounded in the intrinsic value of the environment, but is also understood as a strategy for legitimacy, image branding, charitable activities, and conflict avoidance. Nevertheless, some CSR implementations demonstrate the growth of ecological awareness, leading to more harmonious relationships between companies, society, and the environment.]]>
