Corporate legitimacy is what corporations seek to achieve through CSR although this is not always explicit.

The study focused on 17 publicly listed Government Linked Corporations (GLCs) which are pressured by their owner – the government, to be socially sensitive and responsible in their business activities. The three main aims of the study are: (i) to determine the level of corporate legitimacy perceptions of GLCs in the eyes of SIGs as proxies for society (special interest groups); (ii) to examine whether and which type of corporate responsibility activities of GLCs influence their corporate legitimacy perceptions; and (iii) to find out the extent to which the SIGs characteristics moderate the relationship between corporate responsibility activities and corporate legitimacy of GLCs… Institute of Graduate Studies, UiTM 2016 Book Section PeerReviewed text en http://ir.uitm.edu.my/id/eprint/19918/1/ABS_MAHADIR%20LADISMA%20%40%20AWIS%20TDRA%20VOL%2010%20IGS%2016.pdf Ladisma @ Awis, Mahadir (2016) An empirical analysis of corporate legitimacy through corporate responsibility activities among Government Linked Companies (GLCs): the influences of special interest groups / Mahadir Ladisma @ Awis.
