addition to ordinary least squares model (OLS), this paper uses
the research approach of three-stage least squares model
(3SLS) for considering endogeneous variables. Then we can
construct the unbias, consistency and validity model, and offer
companies the bases of business decision. From empirical
results, this paper shows that more operating variables are
significant influence on social performance and financial
performance, and there is the positive and apparent influence
for corporate social performance on corporate financial
performance. The financial performance has positive influence
on social performance too, and shows that the good financial
performance contributes to the push of corporate social
practice. These offer good foundation for business to construct
the model of sustainable business. While getting profit,
business can facilitate the progress of social responsibility.
