direct observation in the 􀃀eld. Meanwhile, the secondary data was gathered from various documents. The data was analyzed by using quantitative and qualitative approaches.The result shows that the
government regulation CSR has no impact on the CSR practice. On the reverse, the corporate commitment and strategy were the decisive factors in the successful of CSR practice. This research also found that the CSR practice has contributedto the improvement of people’s economic and social conditions.
