From the analysis of 411 surveyed customers and using the multiple linear regression technique, it can be seen that CSR explains 53% of the purchase intention. In the same way, it is determined that the legal and ethical dimensions are the most crucial factors for consumers in this locality. Therefore, it is recommended that companies focus their efforts on applying and disseminating CSR activities in order to encourage sales.
