Abstract
Although the notion of corporate social responsibility (CSR) is relatively new in Malaysia, it has gained growing recognition in the country’s property industry since the last decade. The purpose of this paper is to assess the implementation of sustainable practice by property developers particularly on social and environmental perspectives. Content analysis will be used and this involves reviewing property companies’ websites, annual reports, corporate responsibility and sustainability reports, and carbon disclosurer eports. Given that there are few papers investigating the perception of Malaysian developers on CSR in the past, it is expected that findings from this project will shed light on the extent of responsible practice undertaken by property companies in the country.
