| Summary: | Various researchers have been conducted, and the results are mixed, inconsistent, and conducted before era of pandemic. The purpose of this study is to examine the impact of corporate social responsibility disclosure on financial performance in the era of pandemic base on Indonesian context. We use quantitative method using regression analysis. Secondary data have been collected for 36 companies in consumption industry listed in Indonesian Stock Exchange for the period of 2019–2021 which are the challenging years. We measure the disclosure of social responsibility using the global reporting index in the company’s annual report. For financial performance variables, we use return on asset, return on equity and Tobin’s Q, to see the consistency of the result. For the control variables, we use leverage and total asset. We found that corporate social responsibility disclosure consistently has a significant positive effect on return on asset, return on equity and for the value of Tobin’s Q. The corporate social responsibility in this study is assessed using personal judgment based on the Global Reporting Initiative social responsibility disclosure indicators. This proves that especially in the era of pandemic, non-financial information like corporate social responsibility disclosure is very powerful for the succeed of the company in the case of Indonesian context. This research was conducted using period when the company faced crisis that was different from previous economic crisis. Another consideration is about global pressure related to the issue of the impact of climate change. The result of this study will contribute to whether there is consistency in the findings when tested during pandemic crisis compared to the economic situation before pandemic.
