Abstract
This study aims to investigate the role of corporate social responsibility (CSR) governance in reducing the carbon footprint of organizations. In an era of increasing environmental concerns and climate change, companies face growing pressure to adopt sustainable practices. This study explores the relationship between CSR governance structures and the implementation of strategies to reduce carbon emissions, considering various aspects such as organizational policies, stakeholder engagement, and the integration of eco-friendly technologies. Through a comprehensive analysis of existing literature, case studies, and empirical data, the study seeks to provide insights into the effectiveness of CSR governance in promoting a more sustainable business environment.To achieve the study's objectives, researchers distributed 150 questionnaires to employees at Al-Waha Food Industries Ltd. A total of 135 questionnaires were returned, of which 112 were valid for statistical analysis. The data were analyzed using the advanced statistical program SmartPLS V.4. The study concluded with several key findings, the most important being that CSR governance significantly influences the reduction of the carbon footprint. The effectiveness of CSR governance in reducing the carbon footprint likely depends on several factors, including corporate commitment, government support, stakeholder involvement, and the ability to overcome industry-specific challenges.
