Abstract

Environmental issues have become a hot topic of social concern, and the social responsibility of enterprise is also increasing people's attention. This paper selected annual report of 43 domestic power industry listed companies from 2012 - 2014 as sample data, and used earning per share (EPS) to measure the profitability of enterprises, to do an empirical research on the relationship between the social responsibility scores and profitability in power enterprise. The study found a positive correlation between social responsibility scores and earning per share. That is to say, the stronger profitability the corporate has, the higher corporate social responsibility scores are.
