Abstract	Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has become an important strategic approach through which organizations demonstrate their commitment toward social responsibility, environmental sustainability, ethical practices, and stakeholder welfare. In contemporary markets, consumers increasingly evaluate brands not only on product quality and price but also on their social values, ethical behaviour, and contribution to society. Consequently, CSR initiatives have gained importance as a potential driver of consumer trust, brand reputation, and long-term brand loyalty.This study examines the relationship between corporate social responsibility and consumer brand loyalty through a conceptual analysis of marketing theories, consumer behaviour research, stakeholder management perspectives, and sustainability literature. The study explores how CSR activities influence consumer perceptions, emotional attachment, brand trust, purchase intentions, and long-term customer relationships. The analysis indicates that organizations demonstrating authentic CSR commitments are more likely to develop positive consumer attitudes and stronger brand loyalty. Social responsibility initiatives related to environmental protection, community development, ethical business practices, and responsible governance can strengthen brand credibility and create meaningful connections with consumers. However, CSR effectiveness depends on authenticity, transparency, communication quality, and alignment between corporate actions and consumer expectations.The study concludes that CSR represents more than a reputational activity; it functions as a strategic mechanism for building consumer relationships and strengthening competitive positioning. Organizations that integrate genuine social responsibility into their business strategies can enhance consumer trust, improve brand loyalty, and create sustainable value for both stakeholders and society.
