近年來因為環境被不斷地破壞，永續發展的意識逐漸抬頭，企業社會責任的重要性也開始被重視。本篇論文藉由社會網絡分析和統計分析來研究企業社會責任對績效與創新的關係，希望能讓公司們有個依據，可以了解到實施企業社會責任對它們的影響。研究結果發現有些企業社會責任的類別會對績效與創新有正向的影響，有些則沒有。

In recent years, as the environment has been continuously destroyed, the awareness of sustainable development has gradually risen, and the importance of corporate social responsibility has begun to be valued. This paper uses social network analysis and statistical analysis to study the relationship between corporate social responsibility, performance and innovation. It hopes that companies can have a basis to understand the impact of implementing corporate social responsibility on them. The study found that some categories of corporate social responsibility have a positive impact on performance and innovation, and some categories of corporate social responsibility do not.
