Descriptive and causal research designs were found appropriate for the study. The secondary source of data collection via panel data was used. Data collection method was corporate responsibility to employee checklist and by extraction from annual reports and accounts of listed consumer goods companies in Nigeria. The inferential statistics of multiple regressions were employed to attain the research objective. The Python 3.8 and E views 10 were the statistical packages used in the study for data analysis.
